This was cute - I would give it 3.5 stars.

For a romantic farcical comedy, it was really good. I guess the genre isn't totally my thing, but this was pretty fun. Sometimes it seemed too silly for the emotional heft it occasionally tried to bring, or vice versa - too randomly emotional for the overall effervescent tone. But overall I liked Samantha and got invested in her learning how to have a life and maybe still use her brain.

I did feel like the ending left things quite open - it seemed like once the romantic subplot was resolved, the author dusted her hands and let us speculate on the rest. I might have liked more exploration on where Samantha landed with her career.

Still, a good palate-cleanser after some heavy duty reading. Now back to Lovecraftian fiction for a while. :) ~^(;,;)^~
