Review: Worth 99 cents, but a bit shallow

I downloaded this book because the author made it available at a great price and I liked another of her books, Swedish for Beginners. This book was similar to Swedish for Beginners in that it was an entertaining, light read, and it had similarly underdeveloped characters. There were definitely some fun moments throughout this book and I mostly enjoyed reading it. But I continue to feel that the characters are pretty shallow, particularly the male romantic lead, who is little more than a sexy, Spanish stereotype of a love interest.There is also a secondary plot line about the main character's sister, Becky, which is never tied up properly. This was a little frustrating.All in all, for the price I think the book is worth the money, but is held back by underdeveloped one-dimensional characters.
