Synopsis
Initially, gallery manager Jane Laine isn't very impressed with "it" artist Ian Rhys-Fitzsimmons. Which could be kind of a problem, since she's the one who has to accompany him on a five-month international art fair tour. To get through it all, Jane figures she'll be a good sport and keep her critiques to herself. She's preoccupied enough with mending her own broken heart, re-thinking her career path, and dealing with her Schnauzer-obsessed family. But now, traveling with this alleged genius from London to Rome and beyond, she starts to understand the connection between art and love—and the fact that in both, perspective is everything.
Washington Post
Poignant and very funny.

'Plane' Jane Discovers Life and Artby Anonymous

December 10, 2007: ?If Andy Warhol Had a Girlfriend? is a fun, lighthearted story of a young woman finding her own identity with the help of her friends and strength that she finds within herself. ?Plane Jane?, as she calls herself, is easily identifiable in most every young woman. She is single, has relationship issues, resents her boss, dislikes a co-worker, is bored with her mundane life and is having difficulty finding meaning in her chosen carrier. These real life issues are so very common among young women that the character of Jane is easy to identify with, even if the reader has moved passed this phase of their life it can bring back so many individual memories from the readers past. This novel is centered on the theme of art. However, the reader does not need to know anything about art to enjoy this heartwarming story. This Novel is not a true romance story it is more in the category of ?chick-lit.? However, I would imagine many men would also enjoy Jane?s quirky nature and her experiences in the art world. I found that this was a very quickly paced novel as Jane and the famous artist Ian traveled around the globe promoting Ian?s artwork. I was eager to read of their adventures together and the mishaps along the way. I was very please by Jane?s character development throughout this story. She began as a very week and uncertain individual who needed to rely on others. In the end, she was transformed into a strong woman who knew exactly what she wanted out of life and carrier and was able to vocalize her feelings and solve her own problems. One major theme presented in this novel is to always think positive of situations that may seem negative or not fit into our plans. You may find unexpected growth in yourself by remaining positive and finding the ?good? in all situations.

April 02, 2005: This is one of the best chick-lit novels I've read in a long, long time. I was scared that they were all becoming too similar and that I was getting burned out on the books. But Pace has created a wonderful world that you just can't get enough of. If she's reading this, I hope she does a sequel!
