I adored this book. I thought it would be some cheesy love story where the main characters fight against all odds to run into each others arms at the end and while that's not completely far off of what happens (no spoilers!) the way it happens is so wonderful and natural, I really appreciated the pace of the character's actions and thoughts. There are various things I found slightly unbelievable but in the end I was completely satisfied with the story and outcome.

So I was bordering on not liking this book. I don't know if it was because I read something that I wasn't expecting, but I was expecting more of how he got her back and not what they did while they were apart. Seriously, I did not want to know about him losing his hair. The writing is good but I was just a little disapointed in the story itself.

I was reading this book for a book club. I didn't get very far, but someone else said that it was inappropriate and we decided not to finish the book. Which is too bad because I was enjoying it and had high hopes. Stupid inappropriate people.

So much minutiae and detail, to the point at which plot elements get buried in descriptions of a character's routine; the story drags A LOT, and the ending just isn't plausible/rewarding enough for the trouble!

I could only get through half of this book and gave up on it. I thought the story was horrible!
