I'll probably have more to say about this later, but wanted to comment that this book was a fast and fun read. I'm still not exactly sure what happened, though. The main character, JB (the author's initials) is obsessed with a woman who may or may not at one point become his wife. They meet frequently on elevators. They break up and obsess over each other. I think I need to read it again.

Let me just say, though, that it bugged me that the copyeditor doesn't know the difference between “a while” and “awhile”–might have cost the book a star in my estimation.
