Review: Satisfying Fluff

I liked this story in general, but it covers familiar ground. Paige is a likeable character as far as innocent college girls go. She has some realistic reactions to new experiences, but I didn't think her sheltered/All Girls' School upbringing was enough to explain her terror over intimacy. I'd hope the next one will dig into that a little bit. Andrew was a pretty generic nice guy that you know right away can't compete in this sort of story. And Spencer is the predictable bad boy. One-night stands, tattoos, motorcyle, musician: all the usual stuff-so you know how it will turn out. The tense relationship between the guys is only explained from Andrew's side, so I'd expect more answers in the next installment. The cliffhanger is very minor, and by the time it comes around, there isn't anything suprising anyway. I don't feel like I need to read the next one to guess what happens.The writing is pretty smooth. It is in that urgent first-person present POV, which sometimes can be awkward when Paige wants to describe herself. And the writer seems confused about the difference between a dorm and an apartment which makes Paige's living situation worries stand out in an odd way.I would read this writer again when I want something easy, predictable, and not too deep.
