Tikarella reviewed Disappointing on
I was so disappointed in this book. Throughout the story Cal is a jerk, especially when he goes on and on about how love is just an illusion created by chemical reactions. Not exactly a sentiment I look for in romantic comedies. Jane is childish and blabbers on about inane, unimportant things far too often. About half the book could have been removed without affecting the actual storyline.
The last fifty pages or so felt very rushed. It was like the author had run out of time or space and just had to wrap things up. Jane and Cal, as well as Holly and Mark's families, change their minds in pretty much a sentence without any real reason or justification for the turn around.
I had loved Meg Cabot's The Boy Next Door and had been excited to have a great new author to read. After Boy Meets Girl, I was disappointed but had hoped this book would bring back the warm feelings I had once about Meg Cabot's books. After this one though, I'm done.
