I really didn't want to like this book, I thought it would be silly and poorly constructed.  I read it for a book club, generally I'm one of those snobs who reads authors who are known only by one name.  I decided to read it because I thought I'd be able to write a scathing and witty review about how awful it was.  I was wrong and should apologize to the author.  This book is really cute and has a lot of heart.  You think it's going to be over the top with raunchy sex; it does talk a bit about it, but in some of the funniest clever ways I've seen in a while.  You've got to watch out for the quick one liners too, it had me laughing so hard I thought people who saw me reading it would think I was loony toons.  Does it belong on the shelf with Steinbeck and Tolstoy?  Probably not, but I don't think it's meant to.  It's well worth your Kindle dollar, way to go Marika Christian.
