It started off cute, then later dealt with some heavy issues, it can be a tough read and will make you examine some of your moral stances.

I liked how this novel was meta, explaining the workings of the romance genre and more generally the lives of writers. Smart dialogues. A little heavy on trying to direct the reader's view to align with those of the characters. I'm not a fan of romance but this book was indeed a good beach read.
