I have to admit, I didn't expect to love this book. I expected to like it because the premise sounded interesting, but I'm not a fan of sci-fi, so 'like' was the most I'd hoped for. However, I DID love it. I was caught up in the story from the very beginning. Jessie was smart, sassy, and self-deprecating, in a funny way. The hero, Marcus, was robotic and emotionless, yet funny too, even though he wasn't trying. His misunderstaning of the human race provided a lot of laughs. I also knew that with his lack of emotion, there was room to grow. And Diane Burton handled the development of the romance in a skillfull and enticing way. I'm a fan of suspense, and there were elements of that too, along with tension and some surprising twists. I'll definitely pick up Switched Too, but this time, I'll expect to love it. :-)
