P. G. Wodehouse
The first entry in P.G. Wodehouse's beloved Blandings Castle Saga, Something New (also published under the alternate title Something Fresh) introduces two young writers, Joan Valentine and Ashe Marson, who find themselves flung together by an increasingly unusual set of circumstances. Forced to pose as servants for a fabulously wealthy family, the two scribes gradually soften toward one another. Can their burgeoning romance survive even as everything else around them appears to be going awry?

"I absolutely loved this book. It was so funny! I actually found myself laughing out loud more than once at the way the narrator described the events. <br/><br/>I felt the way the characters' stories intertwined was unique in that they weren't necessarily different stories combining but each character was actually part of the same story and just didn't know it yet—a complicated yet successfully done way to introduce the main mystery. <br/><br/>My favorite part was Joan discussing chivalry with Ashe. She compared it to her cat bringing her a dead mouse and described this to Ashe as the cat not understanding he wasn't doing her a favor. Not only was this a brilliant comparison, but it melted my heart when she ended the conversation by saying that if she were to accept a dead mouse from anyone, it would be Ashe."
