Review: Formulaic and predictable

I wish there were a 2 1/2* review because the authors did try to write a nice little romance. I've given them the extra half because they've done a decent job of proof-reading, but that is not the same as editing. The many descriptive tag lines are disconcerting, and they need to be careful about the overuse of certain expressions. "Pure evil" for example. I read up to Chapter 10 and am now breezing through mainly to see what happens to sister Susan, which has been an interesting set-up and sub-plot. The title is good, and I don't even object to the standard fat girl/perfect bff relationship, or the many email messages (let's give that up going forward) - but the plot is not all that interesting, and is basically humorless. I may come back and up the stars if the rest of the book proves to be more appealing. I think these authors could do much better by not sticking to a standard romance formula.
