MY LEGENDARY GIRLFRIEND (2002)

EW's GRADE
B

Details Release Date: Jun 25, 2002; Writer: Mike Gayle; Genre: Fiction; Publisher: Broadway Books

Will Kelly, still mooning over the title character who dumped him three years ago, spends the better part of a weekend on the phone -- -mostly with a woman he hasn't even met face-to-face -- bemoaning his new teaching job, his lack of friends, his clingy current Fatal Attraction fling, and life in general. The British Gayle, a onetime advice columnist and magazine writer, has enough spark to keep up an unflagging pace, enough zip to keep the jokes coming, and enough of a sense of timing to call it quits while he -- and Will -- are ahead.
