It is so refreshing to read a love story where a hero isn't "Darcy's type". Don't get me wrong, I love "Darcy's type" ;-) I don't think I will be ever bored with this type but still, it is so good to find another type. 
 This story is funny and very engaging. I was reading e-mail after e-mail and I couldn't stop. I were always thinking: "just another one". 
 The mystery is quite surprising at the end. The love story is believable. 
 But what I value the most in this novel is how Meg Cabot coped with using e-mails. It isn't so easy as one could think. E-mails have to give a reader all he needs to know to understand and enjoy the story but they aren't a typical narration. You don't explain everything in your e-mails, because you write many things earlier, you speak with the recipient of e-mails between them and so on. To be believable Meg Cabot had to find a solution. In my opinion, she did it perfectly. 
 [Now, I have to read another Cabot's novel, to make sure that I can put her as the third favorite contemporary witty romances author, next to Kristan Higgins and Sophie Kinsella. 
 And I want, again, to thank my GR-friends for their recommendations: QNPoohBear and victoria_tonks]
