In fairness, this is the kind of book that I probably wouldn't have picked up if I hadn't read and loved the author's YA books. It's basically a romcom–it's well done but adult romcoms aren't super my thing? (Not judging those who love them, they're just not my thing.) But if you do like romcoms you will probably love this. (Awhile ago I was talking to my friend Kait and she said something that I agreed with & basically pinned down why I like YA books but not so much romcoms–it makes SENSE for teens to have huge misunderstandings and be drama queens, but when fictional adults do it I just want to roll my eyes and tell them to get over it. Attachments is pretty light on that kind of thing but there's still some of that–which generally seems to be necessary to drive the plot of romantic comedies? IDK.)

Also I just realized this was written in 2011. I assumed it was just a bit dated but I guess it's like, historical fiction about 1999? Aww, Y2K panic. Cute!!
