If he can convince her that she needs him. If he can get rid of that damn dog. Crusie does humorous small-town life like nobody else. Quinn's parents, her sister, her teaching colleagues they're all here, and it's incredible how fleshed-out Crusie can make them in just a few sentences. There are so many small stories interwoven that it's hard to even remember them all, but in the end, they create a gorgeous jigsaw of a contemporary romance.
Every piece fits perfectly.
Wonderful doesn't begin to describe it. Readers who prefer milder dialogue should be forewarned that there's a fair amount of profanity. Max and Nick aren't afraid to tell each other exactly what they're thinking. Sounds like a brother to me. Even Quinn isn't afraid to express her thoughts in plain language.
