Much better than I expected because the "douchebag" is no joke -- Oz is a real asshole for the first half of the book but to her credit (and writing skill) Ney redeems him and makes him worthy of this quirky charming heroine in James (James!!). A very confident, skillful book with a long slow ramp up from opposites to friends to lovers that still feels totally believable. Great dialogue too, as per Ney's usual sense of humor. I can't wait for the next one...!
