I finished it. Not sure if that says something about me or the book. I disliked a majority of this.
Male lead: Sucked.
Female lead: Idiotic.
None of the charm of Simply Irresistible which relied heavily on camp and great actors selling the ridiculous storyline. I love that movie. This book is disappointing.
