Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated

A fun easy read!  A previous guest left this at my bro's summer place so I picked it up and whipped through it.  I wasn't quite sure what to expect - certainly not a romance. 

Ultimately the book is about resiliency and finding love and success in unexpected ways.  (Of course, the characters had plenty of privelege and resource that made bouncing back much easier) . An offbeat but quintessential summer read.
