I sat down to read Curing the Uncommon Man-cold a few days after Christmas. I had been reading pretty much nothing but Christmas books and wanted to read something a bit different. I certainly found what I was searching for when I came across this "screwball comedy" I actually laughed which caused my children to want to know what I was reading.
Amanda is crazy busy at work, the next two weeks are sort of do or die for her at the office and at this exact same time is when her boyfriend Jason comes down with a man-cold. She tells him that he can't stay with her but he insists and moves himself in without permission. Amanda turns to her friend Christine for help.
Christine comes up with the Scare Cure to cure Jason man-colds forever. Christine establishes a blog (no good can come from that right?) so that other women can learn from their experiment on Jason. She figures that she is not only helping her friend Amanda but helping all of womankind by giving them the Scare Cure so that they will no longer have to drop EVERYTHING the second their man comes down with the sniffles.
Jason is completely oblivious to the fact that Amanda does not want him there, he just wants someone to baby him through his cold. The things that he endures!! The girls take away the cable, sugary foods, well pretty much all food since all they left him with was health food that he refused to eat.
At first I thought Jason deserves this, he was told to not stay there, then it was repeated more than once. Pretty soon, I started pulling for Jason though. By the end of the book I was a huge Jason fan, even though I thought he was kind of a jerk at the beginning of the book.
You are going to have to pick up Curing the Uncommon Man-Cold at Amazon in order to find out why I ended up rooting for Jason. J. L. Salter did a wonderful job with this book. I look forward to checking out more books of his in the future.
Happy Reading!!
