Review: Good Idea, Not the Greatest Execution
Rating: 2 out of 5

The story's premise was good but a lot of things detracted from the enjoyment of the novel.  It's littered with spelling and grammatical errors.  Also, there is not enough dialogue between the heroine and hero.  You can expect long, thick paragraphs with irrelevant details and esoteric allusions that will have you skipping a page every now and then. The dialogue that is there is very stilted.At times, the characters sound like Data from Star Trek; they lack personality.  Aside from being newly thin after strictly following a diet, Jennifer could be anyone.  Compulsive texting is probably the most interesting thing she does.  Riordan is just described a few times as a hot nerd, but none of his actions would lead the reader to believe it.Despite these shortcomings, the final love scenes were very good.  Riordan showed the most character in the last pages by bombarding Jennifer with impatience.  It made him seem human.  Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the story's other characters.
