Jo Mitchell is a doormat. She lets everyone walk all over her, talk down to her, talk about her behind her back, steal her boyfriends, and basically make her feel like crap on a daily basis. She works hard and supports her Mother, who can't be bothered to be self-sufficient, and she stands up for herself. When she meets the new IT guy, Mark, she's shocked that he's so nice to her. They develop a friendship, but when it starts to lead to more, Mark runs. Will Jo fight for Mark or will she just let go as usual?Jo is really a sad sack of a chick, a total jellyfish. Frankly, the same could be said about Mark. It's interesting though to see two people with such tentative personalities trying to get around their insecurities/trust issues try to find each other. It takes awhile but Jo does finally show some great character growth. Mark is a lot more frustrating, he had very minimal growth and development for his character. This really was Jo's story more than Mark's though, and it's entirely Jo's POV.I would also say that this reads more as a "in like" rather than an "in love" story. The romance isn't especially romantic or very deep. Overall, it's an interesting story, but I think it needed more depth in the romance department.
