This showed up in my recommended reading and it sounded.. eh. I was a little worried that the main character would be this brooding little shrew who couldn't figure out how to steal some limelight from her hot friend. I decided to download and read the free sample. By the end of the sample, I felt confident that the main character was in fact a strong and sassy girl, and it would be a decent story, worth the $2.99 price. I'm so very glad I took that chance. This story was fantastic, and literally had me laughing out loud in parts. The romance was built up slowly (even though the story takes place in only a week, it felt completely believable.)Here are two of my favorite (out of many) laugh out loud moments from the book."...she'd settled on khakis and a sweater.  With her hair back in a tight ponytail and the pinched look around her mouth, Fawn looked like a librarian in a porno who was about to take it in the ass.""His white t-shirt and navy bike shorts reminded her of the time a Shakespeare compnay had performed at her high school and caused a giggle riot. There was just something about men's fabric-molded genitals that bugged-out her modern American eyes."Don't let the quotes I chose fool you. It's not a crass or crude book. It's sweet and funny, and the couple of more brash comments I chose as examples are more hilarious because they surpirsed me as much as they made me feel connected to the main character.This book is told in third person. (e.g. Lucy did this, she did that.) Just thought that was worth mentioning since I don't see that a lot in light-hearted chick lit. I didn't have any problem connecting with the character. Read this. It's worth your time and your three bucks.
