Perfect on Paper

Tough book to rate - it was fairly well written and clever in parts, but I couldn't get past the heroine's behavior. You could say it is the story of a woman facing a tough choice, or you could say it is the story of a selfish bitch cheating on her quite lovely boyfriend. Unfortunately, the author forgot to give the boyfriend much of a personality besides a Southern accent so it's hard to feel too outraged when the heroine keeps finding herself unable to resist a scruffy young crossword puzzle author. If we didn't see that the heroine is a decent friend she would seem completely unredeemable. There's no apparent reason that the heroine makes the final choice that she does, so again it's hard to feel any satisfaction at the book's conclusion.
