I remember reading this one cover to cover at least twice in a row, I enjoyed it that much. (Also, yes, coverporn. I delighted in walking around with such a pretty book.) Pretty sure this was during my SAO phase, so I was really into MMORPG-type plots and fluffy relationships that go from the screen to real life; I also had pretty low standards for how I indulged that genre craving since I wasn't quite sure where to start looking.

Look, this is certainly not the best or most original book ever written. But it's cute and has heart, and perhaps most importantly, it can fit perfectly with the right audience.
