This book was really good for a free book, even better for a first novel. It was humorous - not Jennifer Crusie humorous, but cute nonetheless. Especially Sarah's relationship with the floor. Once I heard what the evil exes had done, I considered that 'nuff said. I would have rather had more of Sarah's mother and aunt adding some hilarity, given their roles as Sarah's strong female support system. The only real negative is those pesky errors, which were mostly homophonic typos - like peak for peek a couple of times, and peak used correctly once, and break was used when referring to brake lights - and a few just made up words. There's more to editing than spell check. The author credits an editor, but any issues I had with the book could have been handled with better editing.The only thing that's been hard for me to get past is having a Neil Sedaka song put into my head in the very first sentences of the book!!! But hey, that beats the heck out of Afternoon Delight, so it could have been worse. I would definitely try the author's sophomoric effort.
