So sweet, cute, adorable. Just add any adjective that makes you warm and fuzzy, and add it to my list. This book made me smile, because it was different from most of what I have read lately. It's not high drama, it's not angsty, and it's rather chaste.

Overall, fun read that made me grin from ear to ear.
