I bought this a while ago and just got around to reading it recently. It is quirky, requires more than average suspension of belief, and - as advertised - it's a hot, sexy story with a cute plot and some surprises thrown in.

Don't get me wrong: this is not great literature and doesn't pretend to be. If you're avidly anti-smoking, definitely pass on this one. But otherwise, it's fun, interesting, and you get to watch the main character evolve into someone else entirely. This all happens at the hands of some delightfully shameless, unrepentantly sinful characters, to whom I took quite a liking.

If Ms. Blitz writes anything else like this, sign me up!
