This book is hilarious. I can totally see how Faith Baldwin turned so many stories into films; this one read very much like a 1930s romance (well, it is a 1930s romance, but FILM). I also loved the pop culture references that date it.

Quotable:

"It will hurt. But not as much as it hurts now. And once it's out it won't hurt at all. Only girls make such a fuss about a little pain. Boys don't. Not real boys. You are a real boy, aren't you?"

"She hadn't slapped him. He rather liked women who slapped...one could always catch the hand and kiss it. To strike out was at least a sign of emotion. He didn't mind women who lost their tempers...they got over anger. But a woman who spoke her mind like this...and who meant it! He was shaken with the urge to jam on his brakes, to drag her to him, kiss her, shake her, beat her...anything to force some response from her." ( )
