First I'll start off by saying that I don't write many reviews (even though I'm a addmitted book junkie) and when I do, I don't like to go into specifics on the plot line because I don't want to ruin it for anyone.The goodThis story was very unique.  It wasn't at all like the typical boy meets girl, fall in love blah, blah, blah (although I enjoy those too), and it also wasn't the typical friends forever and then they realize they love each other, blah, blah (although, again, I enjoy those too).  These two have been friends since they were born.  Both are tempermental, moody and a pain in each other ass, but still likable.  I loved the ending.  Love,love, loved it.  I was a little nervous for a bit that it was going to have a sequel, but thank goodness it didn't, phew! I hate waiting for sequels!  The begining was a bit slow, but for the most part, it was a good page turner, something not often found in freebies (which is what I got it for) I'd definately describe this as a diamond in the roughThe Not so goodI think someone else mentioned that these two acted like they were 17, rather than 35.  I'd agree, although maybe early 20's rather than 17.  But on the other hand, the way they acted was part of their dynamic, so I'm not 100% if I'd call this a downfall.If you're on the fence, I'd get it.  It's a good balance between happy book and some angst.***********************spoiler**************************I think the biggest problem I had with this book was the way her career went.  Not that I have a problem at all leaving a career to become a stay at home mom, after all, I left mine as a teacher to do the same thing.  I think my problem with it was that after working soooo hard to be where she was for soooo long, she quit (and the way it happened was a little unrealistic) and then noone said boo about it.  I would think there would some discussion about it? or at least some internal dialouge?
