I really enjoyed this novel, once I got used to the author's writing style. I kind of saw what was coming with the plot twist, but only because I had something similar happen to me back in my high school days. This was a fun read.
I read this over 2 days. Fun and well written romance.
fun entertaining read, based in Philadelphia..nice little romance
Definitely chic lit, but fun, light hearted, but still has some depth to it. The main character works for a toy company, which plays into the inner child in all of us!
book about a girl who is in love with her roommate and dates guys that just can't measure up to him, she gets down on herself and realizes she has to tell him about how she feels
Absolutely delightful book! This book has a delightful story line, likeable characters, and good-hearted humor that had me laughing-out-loud many times during the book. Nothing profound, no explicit sexual details (refreshing in their absence - after all, after a while hearing sex described in overused phrases becomes as scintillating as listening to a bowling tournament -- "Well he got nine of the pins on his first ball, I wonder what his strategy will be for his next throw?")
Also, if you are familiar with Philadelphia - it is fun to read the Philly references.
As soon as I finish typing this review, I plan to search for other books by this author.
