Helpful Score: 3

I bought this book for $1 and when it was chosen for February's book club book, I was quite surprised. It certainly was not the romantic, funny, chick lit book that I think we all expected it to be. It had surprisingly little actual romance, and what romance there was did not seem worth rooting for. Tessa King was not overly likable. She made bad decisions (again and again); her love interests were not interesting and most of all, for a character who was supposed to be 35, I know 15-year-olds who are more mature. Her entire job situation struck me as utterly ridiculous as well... Some of the minor characters had interesting storylines, but not many of them came to clear resolutions, either. In the end, I was entertained, but frustrated since not many strands of plot seemed concluded. I am curious about the sequel, just to see if anything else is wrapped up.
