Cute story for a quick read. The characters were amusing, especially Gina's family. Great if you're in the mood for a sappy romance. Might have been good to flush it out more and make it a full length story though.A few things did bring the rating down for me a bit.First, some facts were mixed up. Gina starts off saying something about how her senior prom was 4 years ago. Then a few pages later she says she's glad to have left high school a few months before and even something about a 18 year old sausage queen. So ya, for the author, please double check the stats you've given your characters.Second, the characters seemed a bit young for their ages to me. The reactions and antics that they had seemed more like people who were 17/18, not a woman of 22 and a man of 26. Or maybe my perception of how people at those ages act is skewed? I certainly don't remember being like that at 22.Third, how Gina and Tony fall in love seemed rushed. The author didn't really explain why Tony fell in love with Gina but at least even at the beginning of the story you knew he liked her so it's fine that he says he loves her. But Gina's character doesn't really show that she likes him in that way at all, besides being physically attracted to him. So for her all of a sudden to say she loves him that was out of no where for me. I think this could have been resolved if the story was longer so that the author had more pages to develop their relationship.Overall, a fun quick read with some entertaining humor.
