I picked this one up before reading the first book (I thought this was the first in the series). I still thought it was great though I wish I would have picked up the first book, first. 
 Definitely reminded me of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, but that's OK because I love that movie. It was also incredibly sweet and a lot deeper than the movie. Just the overarching story line was similar. 
 Definitely one of my top Contemporaries of the year. It was a quick and easy read - perfect for a Sunday read-a-thon.
