As a rom-com, this was a delight.  Meg is a well-formed character whose self-deprecating narration is amusing.  Her special ability to hide clues to things in her lettering is unique to anything I've read before, and I loved how that set the stage for all kinds of little clues, codes, and games in the rest of the narrative.  The author's obvious knowledge and love of lettering/publishing and also NYC seeped into this book so strongly that they could have both been their own characters.  I also really liked that there wasn't just the romance and one other conflict for the main character; there were several additional conflicts that were lightly related to each other, so it kept the book moving pretty quickly.  Finally, some of the life lessons - especially that conflict is important to developing a long-term relationship - are so important.
