About this ebook

There are a few places screenwriter Lou Calabrese would rather be than crammed into a helicopter with Jack Townsend, star of her claim to fame, Copkiller, and whose ex just ran off with Lou's ex. Talk about uncomfortable. But when, halfway out to the isolated arctic location where Copkiller IV is currently shooting, their pilot turns murderous and their helicopter crashes, Lou realizes her day has just gotten a lot worse.

Now, while family and friends back home fret over her disappearance, Lou is on the run in the arctic wilderness with America's sweetheart Jack Townsend and only the contents of her purse, his pockets, and their mutual knowledge of survival movie trivia to keep them alive. Can these two children of Hollywood put aside their differences and make it back home without killing each other? Or much, much worse, actually start to like one another?

    This is a light contemporary romance novel featuring Louise ("Lou") Calabrese, an award-winning screenwriter; and Jack Townshend, an A-list actor who stars in a movie franchise that Lou writes. On a trip to a shoot in Alaska, the helicopter they are traveling in goes down, and the two of them find themselves having to navigate blizzard conditions and assassins with nothing but movie-lore and a bit of luck to survive. Incredulous; but fun... The perfect kind of escapist novel.

    A fast moving romp that stayed light despite "suspense" that someone was out to get the hero. Take away some celebrity/movie/hollywood moments and just a contemporary romance—but I enjoyed and read in one sitting.

    I didn’t pick up this book for the longest time, and after finally having read it, I can probably say that there was a good reason why I avoided it for the longest time.

    I don’t hate the book. Unfortunately, I didn’t like all that much either. It’s another very bland romantic comedy, but unlike the Queen of Babble series (started off bland, but managed to subvert itself), She Went All the Way is really bland. I’m talking oatmeal here. There’s nothing interesting about this book at all. Lou and Jack are the standard, c&p’d rom com protagonists who hate each other, but after defying death in the Alaskan wilderness, they end up falling for each other! (Gasp. That is so original.) There’s even a prolonged scene where they happen to stumble upon a hunting cabin and have a steak dinner with fine wine. And then they have sex, because, it has to happen.

    Nothing really happens in this book. There’s a whole kidnapping/murder plot involving Jack, but it doesn’t feel like these two characters’ lives are in danger, because the book’s more concerned with the UST then making the plot interesting. The only thing that kind of worked was that Meg Cabot’s tendency to shove as many pop culture references into one novel actually fits, as the characters all work in Hollywood—however, I was disappointed that she couldn’t make one film reference over thirty years old. (I mean, standard bickering love interests? We can’t get one It Happened One Night reference? Philadelphia Story? Classic Hollywood breathed this trope.) I also did like the fact that Lou gets her screenwriting break by writing action thrillers, but I would have really liked to have seen more of that side. Oh, and the whole Jack doesn’t commit to relationships, but he’s willing to marry Lou because she’s the only one he can see himself being with irked me. Really, I’d like to read a rom-com where marriage isn’t the only possible end for the characters.

    Aside from the several irks throughout the book, I really didn’t feel much about it. It should be telling when I have to look at the page count to see how much further I have to slog through. But it was so unbelievably predictable—even the surprise of who was behind the murder plot felt shoehorned in and really didn’t have any effect on the overall plot. And I didn’t have fun reading it, a lot of the book was a chore just to get through. I don’t mind a predictable and clichéd book if it manages to be brain candy that I can indulge in, but I felt like no effort was even made while writing this. Really, the only reason I can say that I’ve read it is because I’m a obsessive completist.

    Another great Meg Cabot book, the cute romances that are great and engaging. This was by far my favorite of her books, more because it is based around the movie industry. A story of a young screen writer who is helping the leading man in her newest movie survive the many attempts of assasination. One of the greatest things about the heroines in Meg Cabots books is that they are real people who are not perfect and suffer the same difficuties in life that we all do. A great feel good romance that all of her adult books are.

    I enjoyed this book. It is a beach read. Not entirely deep and engrossing, but easy reading and enjoyable.

    I loved this book. I generally love reading anything by Meg Cabot and this was no exception. The characters were fun and charming. I love the mystery aspect as well. Lou and Jack are great characters and draw you into their stories. At first, I wasn't sure if I liked the switching point of views but you get used to it and in fact it became a welcomed part of the book. I definitely recommend this book!

    Entertaining but fluffy and fairly two-dimensional. All a good vehicle for some steamy sex scenes but sort of like candy - wonderful while eating, quickly gone. I've read better Cabot books.

    Meg Cabot cracks me up. This book was no exception, and I giggled through the whole thing.The entire "plot" if you can call it that, is ridiculous. It's a cross between your favoritie action movie: cheesy lines, lots of gunshots and explosions, and your favorite romance novel: plenty of heated gazes and trite introspection. All wrapped up in the shiny packaging of gently sarcastic presentation. A highly entertaining mockery and ideal escapist reading, but if you insist on depth or character development, you might want to give this one a miss.

    I've put off reading this novel for awhile... because of its cover. I know, I know, never judge a book by its cover. But I just didn't really like it. But, I got over it ever since I got into my Meg Cabot phase. It's just... awesome how her teen and adult fiction appeals to readers (and myself). This book seems so.. typical at first. Boy and girl despise one another. Boy and girl go through these hard struggles to learn that they actually have a sexual tension. Boy and girl are going to live happily ever after. But I don't exactly know what Cabot does to make it anything but typical. There are plot twists. There are hilarious, brave, confusing, emotional, courageous, starstruck side characters that add to the plot. It's just not your usual chick lit, I guess. Still I would only recommend it to only to chick lit readers. And even then, I liked her other ones better: Boy Meets Girl, The Boy Next Door and Every Boy's Got One.

    This is a one-off, as far as I can tell. (She's not a particularly erudite writer, but she's certainly prolific - it's hard to keep track of all her different series.) I don't really get the title - yes, the main character has sex, but so do most of her protagonists. At least they do in her adult novels - I don't think the leads in her YA novels have sex. It's more of a thriller than her other books, and I admit that it kept me up the night I started reading it. (Just one more chapter...argh! A cliffhanger! [literally, in one instance]). Good if you're looking for something fluffy and not mentally taxing.
