I love a good sex-positive independent professional leading lady in my modern romance, so that was great. I also love solid friendships with ride or die women friends and strong family ties. This was a 3 point read for this most part but it lost a point for 2 reasons: 1) The crazy-ex-girlfriend was ludicrous, from her citrus hued suits (in Minneapolis! Ha! We favor outdoor gear here in the great white north--formal means no fleece) to the fatal attraction maneuvering with respect to a man she has barely dated; and 2) the super rapey "love scene" where Chloe tells Rocco she doesn't want to have sex with him and he ignores her, overpowers her, and eventually she comes around and realizes she was dying to have sex all along. I found this show more profoundly disturbing. Its too bad, because there was some good stuff here. show less
