Mad About Max
*Starred Review* Max Nolan has a closet full of designer suits but only one "lucky" suit, which he wears to broker deals and make career-level decisions. Then the unthinkable happens. His current lover decides that if Max's business wardrobe disappears, he'll spend more "fun" time with her, so she dumps all of his clothes into the nearest donation collection box. Max is upset, especially about losing his precious lucky suit. Purple-haired, multipierced Lucy Logan is thrilled that someone has donated so many designer suits to her charity, Successfully Dressed. When Max demands his wardrobe back, she tells him he has to "earn" it by performing five days of volunteer work. Soon the zany, laid-back female and the conventional, uptight male discover that there are many things to respect--and even love--about each other. A cool cast of secondary characters adds much to the story as clever Plumley, who is already known for her entertaining romantic comedies, presents another winner in this humorous and engaging tale about a man who literally loses his shirt, but finds his heart.Shelley MosleyCopyright © American Library Association.
