Release Date: December 1st, 2002
Number of Pages: 384 pages

Format: Paperback
Success hasn't spoiled screenwriter Lou Calabrese -- it's just given her a taste for luxury. And it's put her in some bizarre situations -- like in a helicopter en route to the wilds of Alaska, sharing too-close quarters with the last man she wants to be with: Jack Townsend! Once a sexy nobody whom Lou helped make a somebody, Jack's just been dumped by a high-profile Hollywood airhead -- who's eloped with Lou's longtime love! So what else could go wrong?

Well...

Their pilot could try to shoot the most adored man in America. They could crash land in the icy, mountainous middle of nowhere. And at the worst possible moment, when survival should be their only consideration, Jack could start wondering if maybe he wasn't a wee bit too hasty for not giving this sexy screenwriter a second look -- while Lou could start noticing how superstar Jack is kind of hot after all ...

This book was truely amusing and exciting. I enjoyed it very much. Lou's way of expressing herself is sarcastic and witty.

The book is written from different perspectives. Mostly from Lou's and Jack's but also from: Frank Calabrese, Vicky Lord, Eleonor Townsend and a few more. I thought it was interesting to read from all those point of views.

I got this cozy feeling of the book, even though it is not a cozy book at all.

The book follows Lou and Jack as they in the middle of nowhere go from practially hating the other person's guts to actually like each other , will it grow to something more ? I think we all know all know the answer to that question. She Went All the Way was predictable. But it was funny, that made me ignore the fact that I had already figured out what was going to happen. The dialogs are mirthful, the characters pretty much made the book, so to speak.

I do not think this is one of the best books written by Meg Cabot. But I have not read any other books of hers, so I cannot make a comparison. This is a typical Chic-lit, an very enjoyable one too.
