So nice to read a book that isn't dripping with angst.  Yes, Malcolm and Anne have issues and Malcolm is dealing with a very sad situation but it's a normal part of life.  I was thrown off a bit because the description of the book said Mal was looking for a nice normal girlfriend to help him clean up his image which wasn't the case at all.  I kept waiting (in vain) for some nasty gossip surrounding past misdeeds to pop up.I really liked Mal and Anne-his was a bigger than life character with humor to match but Anne was easily able to keep up with him. I liked the maturity of her character.  It's always a relief to find a female character who doesn't want to make you slap her upside the head with her drama not to mention I enjoy a book that makes me laugh out loud and this one certainly did!Jimmy's next and I suspect the angst factor will be ramped up for his story but because I've enjoyed the first two books in the series so much, I won't hesitate to buy the next one.
