This is easily one of the best light, chick lit reads I've ever read.  I've been dying to read a book where the female lead is strong, smart, and flawed and the male is actually charming, not just supposedly charming.  Ben was a carefully balanced blend of dreamy and jerk. I loved them and all the side characters. It's nice to see an author unafraid of having flawed characters and sympathetic villains.The only downside was a little bit of head hopping. This novel is written in third person primarily from Mina's view, but randomly there are passages from Ben's view sprinkled in with Mina's.  I would have liked it more if she had sectioned off the viewpoints in some areas, but I was still able to understand it.I will mention there are a few f-bombs and crude jokes. I was a little put off early on because I thought it could have been left out in some parts. Generally I don't mind cursing if it would organically arise in the situation or the character has a mouth like a trucker, but there were some seemingly rapid fire swears. It could be because I literally devoured this in one sitting, but though there are sex scenes, for some that's the line in the sand.I loved it, will reread it, and will probably fall in love with Ben again and again. And again. I'll keep an eye out for her next book. I probably won't be too patient either, I really liked it that much.
