I read this book because I remember reading Love Story a while back and liking it, but I'm not sure I would be very interested in it if I read it today. By the time I finally got to reading this, I wasn't very excited since it had been so long since I read the last one, but I wanted to get it read because I had been borrowing it from a friend for a very long time and wanted to get it back to them. The writing is done decently and at a pretty nice pace-it's an easy read which helped.
But, I didn't enjoy it much-I can't seem to have much sympathy for characters with a lot of money and not much else going for them, and that's all the only characters that were in this book. It was a romantic comedy about rich people-two things I don't really dig. I was pleasantly surprised by the ending, but it still took way too long to get there. (less)
