I don't know what to think of this book. On the one hand I enjoyed reading it; it was a good way to pass time. On the other; I think I enjoyed dissing the book more than anything. It was just so... unrealistic!
First, the dude falls for her in like... two days, in which all they've done is fighting and there seemed to be no connection.
Then one moment she's leaving, the next they're having sex.
Then, all the things with their parents - I could understand one royally screwed up parent with no heart or functioning brain, but three? That was a bit excessive.
Then he was talking marriage after a week of knowing her, and everyone could see he was in love with her.
Then he was mad at her,
Then he was in love with her again.
Then he decided he's going to buy her a ring and propose,
But a page later he is talking with a patient about how he isn't sure where their relationship is going as she's a rich girl (who have been living ON THE STREETS for ten years! Dude! Are you an idiot?), and that he planned on leaving when the relationship reached it's inevitable ending. WTF?
And all the scheming, was a bit... too much.
Then there was the way they talked while having sex. Like, do people REALLY talk like that?

Then there were some technical issues, such as a few grammatical mistakes and times when the others seemed to have said the wrong sister's name.

Anyhow, it was fun to read. But mostly so I could laugh at how utterly unrealistic I found this book to be :P
