I need a real Scot to review this because it's got the hallmark signs of a foreigner writing about Scotland. This book has all the annoying stereotypical Americanness that winds me up. Over the top "comedic" occurrences that are pure cringe. Having said that, it's also got a lot of heart. The vulnerability of the heroine was shown early and it made her more palatable but it was still a struggle. This book is such a dichotomy of sweetness and hyperbolic awkwardness.
