I loved every minute of this audio-book. I enjoyed it so much that when I reached the conclusion, I thought, "Already? Noooo." Informative, funny, and full of "I have to make someone else listen to this part" moments.

Excellent insights on the new age in romance and how much technology has influenced it. Love Aziz's humor, laugh out loud humor. Definately recommend.
