The values resented in this gently insightful romantic comedy are unusual but have a consistent realism even if the plot turns on an unrealistic symmetry. It is the comic constructs of language and plot that are the secret of the novel's appeal, however. I developed an affection for all the characters and laughed aloud at some of the conversations. no reviews | add a review

The story touches on everyday life sometimes in an humourous way. It is the perfect read when you don't want something heavy. It was an enjoyable book that I would recommend who those who enjoy a easy, fun, and simple read.
