The Luck of the Bodkins by P.G. Wodehouse

Having never read Wodehouse before (astonishing, I know, but there you are), I had no idea what to expect. Monty Bodkins loves Gertrude, who thinks Monty loves Lottie, who loves Ambrose (the Wrong Tennyson) whose brother Reggie (who, along with Ambrose are Gertrude's cousins) loves Mabel, the sister-in-law of a Hollywood magnate. These three couples populate this perfect farce full of misdirection, misinformation, and a Mickey Mouse. I can't believe this isn't a movie.
