THE BEST THING by Jaci Burton.He and she work for the same company and are attracted to each other.  She is reluctant to date him for a couple of reasons.  The plot and dialogue are typical for this genre.  But it's enjoyable.  It's fun.  And it provides some feel good emotions  It's about a third the length of a regular novel.  I wasn't insulted with anything.  There is the formulaic fight/separation.  She overhears him say something that was not true.  But I liked that she confronted him right away about it.  She told him why she was breaking up with him.  Too many other authors would have the heroine run away and not say why.  So I was pleased with this.  I liked the way he groveled at the end.  But his public declaration made me uncomfortable.  I would have preferred he make a declaration to the two guys he initially commented to - not to all those strangers.DISCLOSURE:I received a complimentary copy from the publisher.
