Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Every Girl Should Be Married
Anabel Sims is a 20 yr old department store employee, who goals is set on marrying a decent man, having children and a settled family life. While taking a lunch break in a diner, her attention goes to a child magazine, where she'd reach for it and another person named Dr. Madison Brown was trying to grab the magazine at the same time. The handsome doctor caught Sims' eye and even more when she is impressed that the man is interested in children.

Sims is head over heels in love with a stranger she just met for a brief second, and her interests even grew more for Dr. Brown when she finds out that he is a bachelor and has a well paying job. Sim's does every little thing in her power get the attention from Brown, including prying on his personal life, what he likes and what he don't, and even have her suave boss Roger Sanford, play along as Anabel's love interest to create jealously with Brown.

Sims over the top admiration in Brown's opinion seems to be a bit on the crazy side. Besides the doctor is enjoying his bachelorhood and the freedom to be himself without the shadow of some woman wanting his attention. Still ignoring her advances Sims now calls on everyone in town to help get her unfazed crush to fall in love with the persistant girl. Will Anabel finally succeed and get the man of her dreams with her man chasing ways?
