Her name is Holly. She's achingly pretty with strawberry-blonde hair, and reads Thomas Mann for pleasure. She gives Peter her phone number on a page of \u003ci\u003eThe Magic Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e, but in his room that night Peter finds the page is inexplicably, impossibly, enragingly...gone. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e So begins the immensely entertaining story of Peter and his unrequited love for his best friend's girl; of Charlotte and her less-than-perfect marriage to a man in love with someone else; of Jonathan and his wicked and fateful debauchery; and of Holly, the impetus for it all. Along the way, there's the evil boss, the desirable temptress, miscommunications, misrepresentations, fiendish behavior, letters gone astray, and ultimately, an ending in which every character gets his due. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Both incisive and wonderfully funny, this is a brilliantly understated comedy of manners in which love lost is found again. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"James Collins has written a romantic, funny and insightful page turner about love in modern times, missed opportunities and the wheel of fate (with a blow-out!) that is so engaging and real, you will find it impossible to put down. Peter Russell is an everyman filled with longing, lust and good sense. I promise you will root for him as fate throws him curves aplenty on his path to true love. \u003ci\u003eBeginner's Greek\u003c\/i\u003e and Peter Russell are keepers.\" -Adriana Trigiani, bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eLucia, Lucia\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBig Stone Gap\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames Collins\u003c\/b\u003e writes for \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e and has been an editor at both \u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSpy Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e.
