Definitely a fun, fulfilling chick flick type story.  Started out absolutely fabulous, I was hooked right away.  I was leery of Fin, probably b/c Ellie was, but once I learned more about him, I wanted to marry him (assuming my husband would agree to the polygamy).  He was unbelievably sexy, ridiculously sweet and I loved his moments of uncertainty with Ellie.  And then to hear his backstory...*sniff*  I just love that boy.  Ellie started off really adorable, I enjoyed her innocence and sweetness mixed with this fiery spirit.  She was hard to continue to adore though...don't get me wrong, I still love Ellie.  But man she got on my nerves after awhile.  I wished she could have grown a bit more and come to her own conclusions with Fin instead of having the problem sort of solved for her, you know??  I did love how much happiness we got....you know, like lots of the kissing and dating and awesomeness, even if they were still working out what they were to each other.This one was a bit more typo-y than usual for Ms. Higginson.  I honestly expected the "sEconds" thing to have a hidden meaning, b/c it was repeated almost every time she wrote that word...I think instead of fixing that mistake, she should weave in an epilogue with its hidden meaning revealed, and we can make t-shirts and have a little club.  The other major typo that drove me insane was when she originally (for the first part of the book) spelled Finley "Finely"....I thought perhaps she meant it, but then it was right at the end.  And I couldn't help but wonder if it was supposed to be pronounced like it was spelled??  Luckily Ms. Higginson writes such an enjoyable story that she can get away with it a bit more than others....
