Jane Goodall is a TV producer on a talk show. She's just been dumped by a colleague she was crazy about and, as a result, develops a "New Cow/Old Cow" theory of human relations. Her magazine-editor girlfriend likes it so much that she persuades her to write a column under a pseudonym.
This was a sweet yet slightly psychotic account of life after heartbreak. Funny and obsessive I found it a dream to read. Although Jane's obsession is really sad and also quite worrying. She does fall short of turning into a "bunny boiler", and her crazy theories do have a lot of seeming truths in them! I did find myself looking at my boyfriend thinking "oh! thats why he does that!" quite scary really.
Honestly this was a nice fun read,l but if you are looking for happy endings, watch the movie :o) Hugh jackman makes a great Eddie, and Ashley Judd is perfect as Jane. (Greg Kinnear does a pretty good 'old-bull' impression too!)
