Review: I loved this book

I have been so fortunate that in the past three months I have found some wonderful authors(either through reviews or just stumbling across them) and Ms. Siwik is one of them. 'Just Good Friends' was such a delight to read. The plotline and character development were perfection; things happened at a realistic pace and character development progressed perfectly. Mike and Audrey were awesome to read about; they were everyday people with everyday quirks and issues who clashed and then came together. Both Mike and Audrey are good, solid characters who offer no excuses for their foibles or actions, and yet try their hardest to change for the better. I loved their first date. I loved how it was an epic fail. I loved how Mike tried to make it good by being exactly what he was: a salt of the earth decent human being (who was also sex on a stick). Audrey I admired because she might have been struggling but she was walking her own path.I do agree with one reviewer that I would have liked to have 'seen' some of their intimate encounters rather than have heard about them afterward. And just because they offered the potential for some great reading. I also would love to read a 'prequel' about John and Wendy as they were the catalyst to this entire book.I am hoping beyond hope that Ms. Siwik is not done with everyone, and that even now is writing furiously away at the second(?) part.I highly recommend this book.
