Boy Meets Girl is a 2004 chick lit novel by American author Meg Cabot. It was first published in January, 2004 by HarperCollins, with the author name of "Meggin Cabot"; subsequent printings say "Meg Cabot".

Synopsis[]

The book follows Kate Mackenzie, who works in the Human Resources division of the New York Journal. She spends much of her days trying to find a good apartment, attempting to avoid her dictator-esque boss Amy, and trying to sort out her complicated relationship with a commitment-phobic boyfriend. Kate begins to despair once Amy forces her to fire an incredibly popular co-worker in one of the office's lunch rooms, which results in the employee suing her for wrongful termination. Things get even worse when she is also obligated to give a deposition to the handsome and wealthy Mitch Hertzog. The two are at odds over several things, but Kate finds herself growing wildly attracted to him.

Reception[]
