A love story about an academic, sort of a shoo-in to my book pile, don’t you think. The narrator has a very similar tone and feel to the narrator of Love Walked In, but a few years older, wiser, and more jaded. It’s literate and witty, and the compare-and-contrast overlap between problems with the boy and problems with work colleagues is done really well.

Nice friendship moments, nice relationship moments, good realizations.

I didn’t like some of the choices at the end, however. Doesn’t stop me from thinking it was very well-written and worth reading. But I’m a little irked with at least one character. Shows you how involving it was, eh? 😉
