Zero stars! 
 What a steaming pile of garbage. I didn't expect much and I actually read the book just to check it out for the local librarian (hooray for speedreading), but it was worse than I expected. Poorly written, ridiculously repetitive, laughably "erotic". I honestly don't think there was a page of the entire (I use the word loosely) novel that didn't have some variation of the phrase "holy cow" (holy crap, holy crow, holy shit, holy fuck, etc.) And the emails, dear lord, it was like reading the correspondence between two 14 year old boys, with slightly better spelling. I probabaly skimmed through the last 200 pages in about 20 minutes, but I'm trying to read 365 books this year and my time is precious, I'm counting this waste of my life even if I'm embarassed by it.
