I hate the main man. However, the book and writing is very good and approachable. You really understand Adrianne.

I only finished this book because I liked the restaurant foodie descriptions. That was fun. Otherwise ridiculous characters and unbelievable plot with no point.

Changing from 3 stars to 2. The more I think about this book the more I really dislike it. Some things were just handled so terribly. I would skip this book and read something else from Elin.

I loved this book. The negative is that it ends way too abruptly. I really need a sequel.

This was a simple but fun summer read. There was nothing complex and, at points the story seemed a bit forced, but it was a lovely quick and engrossing read.
