quick thoughts:

i adored this! the only thing holding me back from a higher rating was the fact that:

a) the romance was between a 16yo girl in high school and a 20yo man who worked for her father's business
b) how frustratingly obvious this was written by an american author, despite being set in australia with an aussie cast
