I admit I struggled with this one at first. I had trouble identifying with female lead Ginny on a number of levels and didn't quite get her constant reference to male lead Jared's gorgeous physique. I like to think my star characters have a bit more to them than just stunning good looks and I had difficulty finding that extra special something about these two. I actually went back to the start of the book and began again, and second time round I felt a lot more comfortable. This book is light, humorous and flirty and is well suited to a young adult audience. It is written in the first person, which I found a bit disconcerting, however I decided to pretend Ginny was talking to me and from there on I had no trouble. If you find "wanna", "gonna" and "y'all" a bit grating then look elsewhere but if you can accept that as setting the scene in the deep south, you'll be right at home.
