I was really disappointed with this Boyle book, having thought the last few were pretty good. It's heavy on the dialogue, rather than plot, and has a huge cast of annoying women who fight over nothing at all, with dialogue that's supposed to be funny but is not. It's like an 1800s Jersey Shore, and I just ended up skipping most of the first 50 pages of the book and skimming a large portion later on. And when it came down to the scene where the hero and heroine first end up in bed together, I truly put the book down and said "You've got to be kidding me" -- because I could hardly tell they even liked one another at that point, and they were supposed to be madly in love. As I learned in maybe 8th grade English class, this author needs to show us they're in love, not just tell us they're in love. A really sub-par effort in my opinion.
