Cassandra French's Finishing School for Boys
By Eric Garcia

      Cassandra French is not a normal twenty-something-year-old. Sure she works as a lawyer and goes out with her friends searching for guys on weekends but that is just the top layer of Cassie. What most people don't know about her is that her mother is on house arrest and oh, yeah, she has three men tied up in her basement. Cassie has decided to teach these three men to be real men, what women really want. Things are going well with Cassie's school until she goes out with Jason Kelly, movie star, and he tries to use her for his own devices. Cassie tries to make Jason her new student, only to be struck with tragedy. Before her eyes, everything she has worked so hard for is going downhill and Cassie must figure out how to salvage her life.

         Eric Garcia is a talented author. He manages to take a wacky, oddball story and keep it interesting. The characters are certainly unique and although the book borders on the ridiculous at times, I found myself wanting to keep reading to find out what would happen. What also stood out about this book is the quick and witty dialogue. If you are looking for a different type of book, Cassandra French's Finishing School for Boys is at the top of that list.
