Well, I guess it was a cute story, but...there was no real character development. It was too short - everything in the novel happens over the course of about a week. And the things that do happen - between complete strangers AND their families - is just...I don't know. Now, I don't mean anything untoward happened. This is a nice, clean story, which I like.

They may well develop something permanent and wonderful and this is the first stage of their journey i.e. I personally think their engagement after knowing each other for a week was way too soon and I hope it's a REALLY long engagement).

Bssically this was a nice quick bedtime read.… (meer)
