This started out slow--I wasn't too sure about it for the first quarter or so. Kate and Meg had a tendency to talk like they were still in college quite a bit in the beginning, which seemed off considering Kate was supposed to be a fairly successful business owner--"geek" doesn't necessarily translate into can't stop slipping into text speak in regular conversation. Thankfully that didn't last long, though, and soon I was swept into the story.Things I liked about this story:- Kate and Meg's relationship--very cute and real, and reminded me of some of my relationships with my friends- Will Thornton. He came off as a bit business-obsessed in the beginning, but his obvious love for his family (and theirs in return) and his attraction to Kate soon set his priorities straight. Great down-to-earth (even though he's a bazillionaire) hero.- All the sci-fi references. Even though I'm not a hardcore geek (I have yet to watch any incarnation of the Doctor. I know, I know--I will!) The Firefly and Serenity ones were fun. Plus, any book where they go to a convention is a win, IMO.- Will's "grand gesture"--perfect!All in all, this ended up being an enjoyable way to pass the time. I'll definitely be looking for more from Emma Shortt in the future.Rating: 4 stars / B- ratingI received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.
