This was a short read, and the pages just flew.  It held my interest and proved to be entertaining all the way through to the end.  The ending wasn't unexpected, but the author's route to it was fun to read.Laura and Charlie had real chemistry that they tried to fight at every turn.  The side characters added to the story in a delightful way--the 2 English boys who kept turning up at their campgrounds were a real hoot.The author did a great job at keeping things moving--too often stories set "somewhere else" get bogged down in historical or architectural details that add nothing but pages.  Because this was a pretty short book the author didn't feel the need to add page after page of Holland details which made it an easy read.  I have nothing against poetic descriptions of places I might like to visit, but this was meant to be a quirky romance not a travel guide and the author stuck to that mission.I would read the follow up book featuring Charlie's sister.  This author knows how to create characters that are sympathetic and situations that are amusing which adds up to a nice, lazy read.
