I loved the characters and found the book hard to put down. But there is a lot to agree with in the 2 star reviews. Overall I am rating high because despite its faults it was entertaining. As for plot, I wish I'd seen her get a real cat, the development of her friendship with Annie, and his art career, rather than a second fight. I skimmed the last 15% but I don't think those things ever happened. The sex stuff is hot at first. Then gets repetitive and gratuitous.
