This book is charming despite itself. It's predictable, it's not deep and doesn't try to be, it's full of cliches, but there's something here anyway that drew me in and kept me reading. I guess it just had a certain sweetness. Except for Zach (who I gather reappears in later books) everyone is actually pretty nice and behaves fairly well. Which is sort of refreshing for NA! So if you want a lighthearted, escapist read go for it! I don't think I'll stick with the whole series though.
