I enjoyed reading this book very much. The story was a bit more unique than most of what's out there now, though it did still follow the formula to a degree, it managed to improve upon it a bit.  The characters are likeable, if a tiny bit "underdone", and the sense of humor is really refreshing.  I found a lot to like here, and I decided on 4 instead of 5 stars for a couple of reasons:  1)  Criss - you need a good editor.  There were quite a few instances of incorrect word usage and grammar issues.  I have always believed that if you are going to take the time to write something, put your name on it and put it out for the world to see, it is incumbent on you to make sure it's right!  2)  I am not the world's biggest fan of "hurry up love".  And the only reason I didn't hate it here is because of Tom - his story was endearing and comfortable and made the scenario a bit more believable.The main characters were written intelligently, with no massive wallowing in self-pity or stupidity for any of them.  They all had issues, imperfections, and WTF moments, but they dealt with them like adults - Yeah!  Instead of making them appear annoying and vapid, in this case, they were written well enough that it made them seem like real, flawed humans.  I liked that.  There was tragedy and triumph, joy, and tears (which, I will tell you is a rarity for me!), and I rooted for them - big time!The peripherals could have used a bit more development and I don't think the book would have suffered from being just a bit longer to allow that to happen, but that being said, it didn't suffer greatly from the absence either.  It would have been nice, but not an imperative.I can really only sum it up the way I did above.  Nice Work!
