This week, I read Almost Just Friends by Jill Shalvis. I stayed up late to finish this one last night (this morning?) I really liked it because I love Jill Shalvis's characters and style. I love that both main characters were flawed but really saw each other and that didn't change. The romance was in figuring out how to believe in the happy ending - and logistics which are figured out easily in romance novels. The secondary characters are also complex and fun and add to the story, are part of the story. You have to suspend a bit of disbelief (or a lot), but I'm willing to do so if I leave a book with happy feelings. More people should read romance for the happy. Also, I like this series because you don't have to read the books that come beforehand, but of course, I do because I'm a stickler for book order. That said, I have a horrible memory so I couldn't tell you anything about the previous books at all.
I've never known any trouble that an hour's reading didn't assuage. Charles De Secondat (1689 - 1755)
