...and Jill came tumbling after (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

What is it that compels an otherwise normal adult to be so desperate for love that she resorts to using a Ouija board to determine the identity of her future husband? What is it that compels someone to set up a stakeout in a restaurant parking lot in the hopes that the man of her dreams just might show up? We’ve all heard of “Love at first sight.” But is there such a thing as “Love before first sight?” And Jill Came Tumbling After attempts to answer these and other questions. Jill knew all about Jack. Through his father, with whom she worked, Jill knew Jack’s likes and dislikes, his job and career aspirations, his social frustrations. Only one thing stood in her path: Jack didn’t know she even existed. How could she meet this guy? His father was no help. He never picked up Jill’s subtle hints about her interest in his son. And Jill was too proud, too afraid of the pitfalls to ask for an outright fix-up. Then came Organizational Management class. An MBA requirement. And there he was… And Jill Came Tumbling After tracks Jack and Jill’s individual dating experiences and their resultant crushed feelings and deep scars as they hurtle towards a collision course that ultimately brings them together for that first date. A few more questions: What do you do when your boss forbids you from dating an associate so he can hit on you instead? What do you do when your date picks up a ketchup bottle at the table of a restaurant and unabashedly begins swigging down its contents? What do you do when your date’s disabled daughter begins beating your father over the head with her artificial leg? This novel is inspired by a true story.
