I like it. Nice deviation from my usual reads. But...um...should I say culture clash? 
 I like May and Ben. I'm happy for their respective self realization, although I might not always agree to their ways to get there. I LOVE Allie, her sparkle of doom and her liveliness in general. Nice moral message to just 'be yourself and stop conforming, stop pretending to be persona you are not', but I feel bad for all the nice guys out there. I'm still the type that more inclined to conservative and seek-for-security side, anyway. Personal preference. 
 I looove the humor! The interaction between characters (especially verbal) is so sweet and funny...plus a right dose of angst. I also like the information about the bees! And the food description! So mouthwatering. 
 I'm happy that the sequel will be about Allie! Have I told you that I love her? Well, I LOVE her! This is going to be good!
