Joint custody / Lauren Baratz-Logsted and Jackie Logsted.

Summary:

"The Art of Racing in the Rain meets The Parent Trap in this offbeat romantic comedy about a mischievous dog determined to do whatever it takes to get his owners back together. The Man has custody Monday through Friday, The Woman has custody on the weekends. But that's not enough for Gatz, who will do anything to bring them back together--even if it kills him. And it almost did. Of course he knows chocolate is bad for him, especially two whole pounds of it, but it's the risk he's willing to take to get them back together. Gatz knows that The Man and The Woman are perfect for each other--how can they not see it, too? She is an editor and he's a writer. She's a social butterfly and he's as introverted as a guy can get. After the misguided death-by-chocolate attempts, Gatz thinks he still has time. But when New Man--so handsome, so nice, so perfect--enters The Woman's life, he realizes he'll need to step up his game. And you know what they say: drastic times call for drastic doggy measures. A laugh-out-loud romance that will touch your heart and make you want a furry friend of your own"-- Provided by publisher.

Publishers Weekly Review

Joint Custody

Publishers Weekly


(c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved

The mother-daughter writing duo of Baratz-Logsted (The Other Brother) and Logsted debuts with a laugh-out-loud rom-com set in New York City's publishing world and narrated by Gatz, an erudite border collie. When the three-year relationship between Gatz's owners, the Man, a lauded literary author, and the Woman, a respected editor, ends, the two agree to share custody of their beloved pooch. Gatz does not approve. Convinced that the Man and the Woman are meant to be together, he resolutely gobbles up two pounds of chocolate, hoping his resulting health crisis will bond them. But his plan backfires, causing an argument that sends the Man into a series of meaningless affairs and the Woman into the arms of a possibly perfect New Man. Gatz, a Renaissance canine with an appreciation of all things literary and a love for Bruno Mars, provides a unique perspective on his owners' human foibles and emotional vulnerabilities as they struggle to move forward with their lives. This touching, hilarious outing is worthy of two paws up. Agent: Pamela Harty, the Knight Agency. (Jan.)
