This is a very easy to read book: easy to pick up, read a couple pages, put down again. Perfect for lunch breaks and waiting for doctor's appointments.
I love romantic comedies and wanted to love this book. It seemed right up my alley of love and fun and nerds. Its narrator is a quirky, smart man who is seemingly too rational to do anything as absurd as falling in love. Enter the (predictably) mess-of-a-creature woman who is totally wrong for him and yet perfect in the end. You know how it ends.
While I didn't hate the book (and lots of folks have loved it!), I did not love it. The characters were thoughtful but didn't resonate with me emotionally.
