wow! that was my first experience in the world of romance novels. Even though i read a small portion of the book, i can relate to the review. The story was fast paced and the characterization of randy and michael was brilliant. Some times the secondary characters like counsellor's wife and mary felt annoying and unneccessary.

The review does not appear too good and a 2 stars is definitely a put off. Cant make up my mind on reading this novel. Congrats on being the BOTD. :)

Thank you for the review. I like that characterization is well done and good pace of the novel, but neither romance or self-discovery books are my favorite genres.

The author has described many tricky and uncomfortable situations that Randy finds himself in. Most of these were highly amusing and added a humor element to the book. Parts of the book also focused on the sharp contrast between Randy and his brother, which was interesting to read. Apart from these, I didn’t find the plot engaging. The book couldn’t hold my attention and I had to read the book in numerous installments. Further, I thought that the book had an abrupt end. While all the sub-plots were complete, I was hoping to read much more about his new-found relationship.
Overall, what I liked best about the book was Randy’s characterization. His personality, experiences and perceptions were described very well. The author portrays his strengths and weaknesses through numerous small incidents, which helped me connect with the character.

Thanks for this review. Very perceptive. Perhaps it was listed as a romance because Randy is supposed to be a romantic hero who makes us go weak in the knees, if even if there is not just one woman in view.

Great review, very thorough and insightful. I certainly doesn't sound like a book that I would read. I too find that a clutter of secondary characters is very frustrating. Thanks so much for sharing.

I agree - too many secondary characters can be extremely confusing. I read the sample and it seems interesting so far though!

Good job on the review. I love the honesty but yet showing the book does have many positive aspects! I love the humor aspect along with the self-discovery. Third person point of view sounds interesting also because usually self-discovery is from first person.
