Review: Didn't Work

Although I could see what the author was trying for, this book completely did not work for me. (Minor spoilers ahead.)The characters were impossible to relate to. The "tough love" mother was just a bully, the main character came off as more of a simple air-headed doormat than the "merry" sweet soul she was intended to be, and the "hero" fell terribly flat. The single love scene was neither romantic nor steamy, being a combination of two fumbling virgins and a "I'm terribly sorry to rush things, but if we don't have sex right now the world will collapse" plot device.All things considered it was a good idea that could have used better execution.
