***3 STARS*** 
 To me, the book started out a bit slow. So slow that I just finished reading it about an hour ago and I can't even remember the beginning of the story. LOL, LOL, LOL!!!! 
 I think it was something along the lines of - she hates him, he hates her, they work together, they don't like working together, blah, blah, blah. They talk a lot of shit to each other and the entire office notices how much they argue and fight. (It's sounding very teenage like, right?) Okay, that sounds about right. 
 Fast forward, she's has a "date" so to speak and he decides to kiss her in the elevator when he finds out about her "date". This is the point where you start to get the feeling Joshua is into her. Which is cute. But to my surprise she still wasn't into him. In most books after they share some out of this world amazing kiss they have some "tada moment" and they really love the person. So, a mini round of applause for the author by not being super predictable. I love little surprises. 
 I completely adored Lucy's personality. She was so darn lovable. I just wanted to pick her mini little self up and give her a hug while asking if she'll be my new friend. 
 Because the book was from Lucy's POV only, I couldn't get a really good read on Joshua's personality. No matter, I could tell that he really cared for Lucy and that was enough for me to like him. He wasn't "book boyfriend" material but I liked him for Lucy. 
 Time to discuss his creepy, stalker like behavior.... 
 Was it just me or did anyone else find it strange that he knew so much about her before they got together? He did all of these thing while pretending to hate her. He painted his room the same color as her eyes. He became obsessed with strawberries because she grew up on a strawberry farm. He mapped out different routes to her childhood home, including where to rent a car when he got there. He kept a post-it note that she kissed a long time ago on his fridge....I mean where did he get that? Did he find it in the trash and take it home with him one day he wanted to be extra creepy? Weird! He kept her favorite dessert at his house. He followed her to places to make sure she wasn't meeting any guys. 
 And you won't believe this one....Here's a little conversation that they have.... 
 "What are the marks in your planner?" It pops into my head. He didn't answer last time; I doubt he will now. 
 He smiles and looks at his plate. "It's a bit juvenile." 
 "I'd expect nothing less of you." 
 "I record whether you're wearing a dress or skirt. D, or S. I make a mark when we argue, and I make a mark when I see you smile at someone else. Also, when I wish I could kiss you. The dots are just my lunch break." 
 WTF?!?! That's creepy as f**k. 
 This would be my response.... 
 "It was great to know you but I think I'm going to be leaving now." 
 Maybe some people are into that kind of thing, but it would freak me the hell out.
