loved it, except for all the swearing. "Real Men" and "real women" don't need to be crude to be strong, and of rich character. The English language has a plethora of effective Way to express oneself strongly, and display strong, indomitable character. Give it a try.

Very nice story. I like the way Tess handles breakups, no holing up and binge eating on ice creams like chicks in books always do or getting smashed in bars. She's a very levelheaded girl genius who takes on her responsibiities like a champ. While Cade has emotional baggages impacting on his relationships and dooming it to fail, he was so into it that he seems almost kind of stupid and incapable of thinking for himself. His excuses are his mothers words starting with 'she said' like his mothers diatribe is gold. I like the way this author writes, her characters are strong and intelligent and doesn't dwell too much on self pity.

I'm actually relieved that I finished the book. I haven't been getting my chores done because I keep getting drawn back to this book. I'm definitely a fan.
