Review: Not at all realistic -- even by romance standards

This book was so fluffy that it was difficult to finish -- the world these characters lived in just didn't seem to resemble the world that I know.Nick is a young graduate student.  He's doing his dissertation on romance because he wants to know the secret to lasting love.  Somewhat confusingly, he's decided to get married before he finds out the secret.  HIs fiancee is obviously the wrong person for him and it's hard to understand why he can't see it.  It's hard to understand why they're even together.  I get the concept of a clean romance, but it's odd for two people who don't even talk about religion to live such completely seperate lives prior to getting married -- most of their relationship consists of lunch dates.While this is going on, Nick gets a new graduate assistant, Moire.  She is everything that he is looking for in a partner, but will he be able to see it?The humor in this book was extremely cheesy -- there are some "hijink" type scenes that are wooden and each chaper begins with a snippet of dialogue that I'm pretty sure was supposed to be funny, but went over like a lead weight for me.  The connections between the characters increasingly defy belief as the story progresses.
