Ok story although there's not much in the way of plot. It's basically all given away in the blurb. I did find myself wondering pretty much right from the start how Ellis was going to find out and how big the misunderstanding/miscommunication was going to be on the way to the happily ever after.

The total deal breaker though is the writing. The amount of inner monologue here is ludicrous. I wonder how much book would be left over if you deleted all italics sections. The further along I got the more annoyed I was. What enraged me most is that I didn't feel this information provided in this way added anything of value. This device always annoys me, often I think it's lazy writing: I need to include this information but I don't know how. Oh, right! I'll have the character think it! But here the thoughts were mostly inane and phrased in ways they, thank goodness, didn't use in dialogue. It was most jarring actually in sections of dialogue, where practically after each spoken sentence inner monologue was added. This really disrupted the reading experience and made me feel like my head was jerked around.

Other than this I didn't mind the writing, which made the issue stand out even more.

One of those books that leave me baffled in regard to why no one raised these issues during the publishing process.
