I was very disappointed with this purchase.  I was looking forward to three good romantic comedy style books, and based on the reviews I saw, this was a steal!  Nope.  I guess you get what you pay for, but in that case, it should be free.  I admit that I only read the first book... I saw people say it's the best one, so that means that I will have to be VERY hard-pressed for a book before I venture on to the second or third.Let me start with why I gave it 2 stars instead of 1.  I did finish it...only because I was curious how it would end.  Also, I have a hard time not finishing a book that I start.  The fact that it was "finish-able" makes it worthy of a second star, I guess.  However, I highly recommend just not starting it in the first place!Why?  First of all, the grammatical errors are distracting and downright appauling!  I honestly do not understand how I, not a trained writer by any means, can usually manage to use commas, the correct version of then/than, and the correct version of possessive/plural, but a professional author cannot (not to mention the editor...if there was one).  Seriously, there were grammatical errors on practically every other page.  It was extremely annoying to me.Second, I did not care for either of the main characters all that much.  They had few likeable qualities individually, and there was almost no chemistry at all between them.  The romance seemed very forced...like I was supposed to believe they were hot for each other just because I was told as much.  That reminds me to say that this not a "sexy" book at all...if you are looking for that, go elsewhere.  This is pretty much a bad chick flick movie.  The writing is extremely amateur...just the wording, sentence structure, style, etc all screamed to me amateur.  It was like reading something by a teenager or early 20s person who is trying to write like an adult.  The comedy is pretty forced as well...it's not very witty.I can overlook occasional grammatical errors.  I can even overlook lack of depth, thought, or complexity...I mean, hello, it's a romance book (well, it's supposed to be, I guess).  But this was just disappointing.  Don't waste your time.
