Adorable YA romance. It took a LOT to get past the "I'm not like other girls"-ness of Liz, but it didn't keep me from finishing the book (the banter between her and Wes was just too good). Lots of kooky mishaps, teenage miscommunications, and of course all the rom-coms. Just a good time all around. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes romance but can do without spice, or teen readers who want an intro to the genre.
