Book Review By Alison
Faking It by Jennifer Crusie

“Faking it” is what happens when a charming con-man, Davy “sex-on-legs” Dempsey, meets his match in Tilda Goodnight -- a reformed forger of famous art works. Add to this cast the other Goodnights -- Tilda's cross-dressing brother-in-law, Andrew; split-personality sister, Eve/Louise; her mother, Gwen, a crossword puzzle addict, and precocious niece, Nadine -- in a plot which involves art fraud, embezzlement, murder, arson and romance, and you'll understand how Jennifer Crusie created a madcap story which offers her readers the most fun they've had in ages.
