Closer to 3.5 stars. All along this felt like a book that I would have loved in my twenties, but now in my forties is just cute. There is some originality but overall, I don't think I'll remember much of this book in a year or two. The characters are not that deep and the traits are often over the top. Also, I don't know if it is because of cultural differences or just that the book was written a while ago, the depiction of women always there to please the dominating man doesn't feel right anymore. On the plus side, I listened to the audiobook and the narrator was top notch.
