Review: Quirky great fun!

I almost passed on reading this book because the blurb didn't make it clear that the main character broke up with his boyfriend before getting involved with his editor.  I don't read romance books with cheating in them, because that is just not romantic.  Luckily for me, someone in one of their reviews mentioned the break up with the box boy  before the affair with the editor and so I purchased the book.  It is quirky, to say the least, but I really did enjoy it very much.  I think the author captured the boredom that can be small town life.  Many of the reviewers here can't understand the roommate's fascination with entertaining the Mormons and JWs but I had to laugh because when I first moved from a big city, where I loved to immerse myself in cross cultural events, to a small town,  I had to settle for entertaining the Mormon missionaries when they came to my door. Those boys satisfied my sweet tooth for a peek at a culture other than my own.  We had many an engaging conversation though it never occurred to me to try to bed them! I loved the quirky characters in the book, the descriptions of what it is like for an author to read a negative review (I have published an indie novel) and the storyline and outcome of the book. I loved the field trip to Italy and the explorations there before the mc  found his HEA.  Overall a great read.
