Boy, I certainly did not have the same response to this book as the other reviewers.  This is the first book by this author for me, so maybe it helps to have read others? It started out entertaining even though the dialogue was a little too stiff feeling for my preference.  Then she went to the aiport and picked up her sister who has Asperger's and it was a big ole thing that she couldn't hug her sister [I'm thinking they're adults, wouldn't this not-hugging thing be pretty much the norm by now?].  Then it's revealed her sister is pregnant and her only response is anger that sis was okay with some guy touching her but not her family touching her? [the little voice in my head's screaming, if you're going to jump to a conclusion wouldn't it be that sis was raped, given the Asperger's?].  But the final straw for me was the very next scene, in the airport parking lot her sis gets violently kidnapped and rather than worry over her sis, it's "witty" reparte and allusions to how hot her expartner is who she'll [angst-riddenly] have to contact for help.  Definitely not my cup of tea.  Stopped reading pretty much before I hit 25%.In fairness, I've just read 4 extremely enjoyable, dare I say perfect books, so maybe my tolerance for anything less is miniscle right now.  Given that, plus the fact it's not terrible led to the two stars rather than one.
