This book was hilarious and heartfelt. Any writer or any person using Twitter will totally relate to Norwood's description of social media. A thoroughly modern take on romance, Norwood's ingenious and witty prose does something that goes beyond just the comedic; it delves into the modern soul and helps bridge the gap between technology and our most urgent desires. I burst out laughing while reading this book. Her clever use of VCR tapes in lieu of her imagination is both funny and ironic; who in this age uses a VCR tape? To me it was a metaphor for the old fashion-style romance that still persists despite the deluge of technology threatening to dull our most intimate desires. Norwood brings these semi-erotic daydreams to life--until the VCR in her mind abruptly stops. The scene in the van where she meets Mr. Rascal is hilarious. There is the best-selling author Butt who constantly refers to himself in the 3rd person.LOL! What an ass! While Norwood writes very funny prose, it is her ability to get to the deeper matters of the heart that really impressed me the most. Glad to discover this talented writer and look forward to reading more of her work.
