    Loved this book. The writing is really fun…both funny and snappy. I enjoyed it so much I'm going to buy it. Looking forward to reading more of this author.

    Better than I expected (our book club is going to have a presentation on Romance writing, and this was one of a suggested selection). I think the humor makes a lot of difference. I think it had more substance than the Harlequins I remember reading in days of yore. A fun read--certainly I kept picking it up when I had better things to do, just like a box of candy.

    My favorite Crusie book. Once I started it I didn't want to put it down. Min and Cal's relationship is amusing, as is the shoe fetish going on. I got a little bored during some of the parts where the story shifted to David and Cyn plotting, but it never lasted long. I enjoyed all the different character's outlook on how love works.

    Delightful book. Although it starts a tad slow; it's like rollercoaster, you have the big climb and then it's like a rolling stone on a K-12. Outstanding and funny, a great read!

    This was...cute. It was fluffy and predictable, just what I expected.

    One of the best rom-com books I've read in a long time. Funny and sexy as hell. I'll probably check out more by Ms. Crusie. Cal has to be one of my favorite romantic leads of all time.
