I did really enjoy this book, it is very much a 'smart romance' like the title claims. Janie is a very interesting character, I could very much relate to her since I also like throwing random facts into conversations, especially when I'm uncomfortable lol. And I really liked Quinn, even though for pretty much all of the book he is a pretty hard nut to crack. We aren't always clear on where Quinn's head or feelings are at, but still I couldn't help be really like him. The reason for me that this ...more

Oh my gosh, where do I start, I swear I could know these people! I love Janie, she is so quirky. This entire story could be a movie it is that good. I really got to know the characters, Janie and Quinn and most of the secondary characters also. Never a dull moment in this book. You will laugh out loud on numerous occasions, so be careful where you are and when you take a sip of a drink you just might end up snorting it by accident. You will not be disappointed.

Love, love, loved this book, and looking forward to reading the rest of the books in this series. Janie is such a great, unique character that I couldn't help but find her adorable. I am nowhere near as smart as Janie, and my brain doesn't retain near as much useless trivia (a lot, but not that much!), but being rather oblivious and prone to TMI myself of course I loved her.

A really fabulous story about two people who manage to begin a relationship despite the fact that they both keep misunders ...more

3.5

Janie, the h, cracked me up: socially inept, oblivious, highly analytical, emotionally stunted, a walking encyclopedia. Very humorous!
