This is a cute book that makes for a very easy Sunday afternoon read. For the most part, I tried to pretend I wasn't reading their journals, especially when Jane was recording whole conversations as they happened. It made it much more enjoyable to just pretend I was hearing their thoughts on things (which is nice because you get in the heads of more than one character).
The problem came when, while having a conversation, one of the characters would say "would you put that book down?" As if Jane was sitting, writing the conversation as it was happening. First of all, nobody can write (by hand) that fast. Secondly, come on! We are supposed to believe that ANYONE would sit there with a journal in hand and write everything as it's happening, especially with other people right there talking to them.
But, if you can ignore all that, it's a fun book and I liked the story.

Pretty annoying and predictable. I loved "Size 12 is not fat" by Cabot, but this was just not good. I only finished it because I hate to leave a book unfinished. Warning: the book is all emails and journal entries. And the main guy's PDA. Because all men keep their diary on their PDA, right? Uh, no.

Better plot than the first one in this series, but I still don't like the format of telling a story through diary entries, emails, etc.

This was more like 3.5 - probably my least favorite of the series. Still cute, funny and a quick read.

I don't care what everyone says, I read this in two days, it's fun read even though I read it years ago I still remember the book from times to times which is a good sign. Book are not supposed to always teach us something, sometimes it can be just pleasure. And I just found out that it's from a series so I'm definitely going to read the other books too!

I read this like 2 years ago when I didn't know it was part of a series. It was a cute fast read.
