Lighthearted and quippy, this is definitely an easy summer read (barring the one sexual assault scene) for those interested in a down to earth romance between adults older than 25. Some of the internal conflict was frustrating, and the external conflict was terribly predictable, but it didn't take me out of the story too much. There was a period where I thought both romance interests were terribly boring and I contemplating shelving it, but I'm glad I didn't. A solid, lighthearted read overall that still manages to interrogate the question "what do you *really* want out of life" without getting too terribly existential.
