For all intensive purposes, the story made me laugh, especially the first few chapters. I loved , loved the banter between Mariah and her Derby family. I actually was amused by the "derby" names. I honestly don't know how to feel about the story itself. On the one hand I want to like it because it's different in that the Mariah was not your typical black woman. I hate stereotypes. But on the other hand it was the fact that she was different that caused alot of inner turmoil for her. Why? I would have admired her more if she was content with that and move on, She's not in high school anymore so why hold a grudge? life's too short, be you and be happy. Then there is Adam, who reminded me of Stephen oh, and wait, maybe Joe. Only difference is he's a dentist; really???? I was trying to connect with their attraction to each other, but I had a hard time doing so, especially with Adam being the jerk that I guess you expect him to be. By the end of the story with the way they both finally realized that they love each other, I still wasn't convinced.On a positive note- the public proposal was really sweet. I'll give 'em that.One more thing , note to the author- there's something to be said about the cover of the novels matching the description of the characters. Maybe it's just a pet-peeve of mine. But It's a total turn off when that's not the case.. just saying
