"Even better than the first book " --BOOKLIST In the madcap sequel to the international hit comedy THE THIN PINK LINE, London editor Jane Taylor is at it again, only this time, there's a baby involved. Having--SPOILER ALERT --found a baby on a church doorstep at the end of the previous book, Jane is forced to come clean with all the people in her world when it turns out that the baby is a different skin color than everyone had expected Jane's baby to be. As Jane fights to keep the baby, battling Social Services and taking on anyone who seeks to get in her path, what kind of mother will Jane prove to be? Only one thing's for certain: no matter how much kinder and gentler she is now, she is still and will always be crazy Jane.
This book is the sequel to The Think Pink Line. It is even funnier and more capitvating than the first! The book takes you on an emotional roller coaster with the main character, and you find yourself laughing out loud at some of the situations she finds herself in! This book is about every kind of love, and you find yourself falling in love with the characters and not wanting the book to end! The end is definetly a cliffhanger, so hopefully we can look for more from this author about the crazy Jane Taylor!!

I was so impressed with the cleverness of a THIN PINK LINE that I doubted the author could surpass herself. But she has! This is a wonderful summer read, and I really found myself rooting for Jane this time around as she makes her transistion from singleton to mommy.
The Perfect Sequel

How do you tell your whole world that you've been living a lie for nine months? I hope I never have to figure this out; if I do, I'll be using Jane as a role model. After reading "The Thin Pink Line" I could not imagine how Jane would ever get out of the corner she'd painted herself into. But, after reading this book, I cannot imagine any other answer. Clever and witty and all around smart - - that's what this book is; the most reading fun I've had all year.
Hooray! Jane is back!!

Caution: Reviewers please be careful with this one. There are so manywonderful surprises. I do not want to spoil them for you so I will steplightly. The first one is a laugh out loud howler and it comes in the verybeginning. Believe me, you will stop reading to think about theramifications of this one sentence. That is, after you stop laughing. The second surprise will be that you will find yourself really likingJane and wonder why you were so upset with her in The Thin Pink Line. We meet many new, delightful characters just as quirky as ever, but myfavorite is Stephen Triplecorn , a social worker whose main goal in life isto give Jane a hard time. You will love him. He needs his own book. Baratz-Logshed is an author who will have you laughing one minute andbefore you know it, you are shedding a tear. This book is a keeper. Enjoy !
