I had high hopes for this book. When I read the premise it sounded original and compelling, but I have never been let down so quickly. I HATE this book. It is vapid and unlikable; it's characters are ALL vapid and unlikable. There is no nuance or subtlety within the story line, each theme will have three pages of explanation for why the book is clever and progressive. The book hits every single stereotype imaginable (and I mean, seriously, everyone) while at the same time never convincing me that the characters are actually what they are supposed to be. I never believed that the villain boyfriend would be able to seduce anyone. The romance heroine never DOES anything despite all the times she talks about how she is a looking for more than just a romance novel, half the action hero's dialogue occurs while he is crying (and I know this was meant to be funny, but it falls completely flat), the nice guy alternative is out of the blue and crammed down the readers throat just to wrap the story up, and the main character is a JERK!! I never once got the impression that she was actually charming under all her pot smoking. She's judgmental and crass. AGH! it was such a waste of time. I have never given a book one star, I have never been so harsh in a review, but everything about this novel is grating. I could go on, but I am afraid that I'll smash my keyboard into oblivion. DON'T READ THIS BOOK!
