(I'm being a bit generous actually, but in the end I liked it even with all its flaws and it is a debut work.)Fast and easy read. I don't usually like books with a similar plot much, but it was free on amazon and therefore worth a try. I got to admit it was better than what I had thought, which might not be much, because I can hardly say it was a masterpiece, but all in all it was a pleasant read.The story is obviously quite predictable, but at the same time so unbelievably unlikely it was sometimes actually surprising. The writing isn't the best out there, but it flows in its simplicity and it doesn't try to be assuming. It's a bit cheesy (well, it's implicit in the plot choice...), but not so much as to drive me away rolling my eyes. The protagonist is likeable and, while being a hopeless romantic, isn't always pining and complaining and not doing anything. What I really really appreciated in the book was the lack of the endless and tormented inner monologues of unrequited and impossible love, which is the reason for which I usually avoid this type of book to begin with.I definitely recommend this if you like easy romances and want something to read on the train or the bus while going to work or just as a beach read in the summer.
