this is the story of Eric who is in love with his best friend Zoe but she doesn't know. why he is in love with her I do not know.. she is a spoilt brat. i just couldnt like her at all. this book is a quick read and a change from my usual genres. thanks to netgalley and Aria for a copy of this book to read and review

The premise of this book is very cute: Eric has been secretly in love with Zoe for 10 years while they were best friends. Looked like the kind of book I needed after a sequence of non-fiction and memoirs, light and fast to read.
It was light, it was fast. It wasn’t good, though. Here’s a few reasons why I didn’t like it:
- The characters aren’t very well built. When you think you’re getting a feeling of them, they do something that doesn’t go with the personality the author designed for them until that point.
- It’s a story happening in New York, written by someone who clearly doesn’t know New York. The vocabulary, the dynamics of the city, the fact that all these people work in a gift shop and manage to live in Manhattan without roommates, the fact that Zoe’s family lives in a house in Soho but she had to work as a waitress in Boston to make a living. It’s all very weird.
- How in the world does a brainy MIT grad end up working at a gift shop?
I mean, it was a distraction from my daily life, it was fun at times, but as far as chick lit goes, you can find much better options with ease. I don’t recommend this one.

>> Since I only gave it 1 star, I didn't post my review on Amazon, just Goodreads

A very fun romantic read that I highly enjoyed reading

I really liked the premise of this book. Eric Morgan has been in love with Zoe Mathison for over 10 years. But that is where it ended for me. The more I read the story, the less I liked Zoe. She was either really oblivious or just really uncaring when it comes to Eric's feelings. I struggled to finish this one, and ended up skimming the end to see how it ends.
