The writing was very strong, with plenty of jokes and humour thrown in. Though I could sense their chemistry, I couldn't sense any basis behind it. I didn't understand why he kept pursuing Rebecca and why he felt the need to play games. Luke's character frustrated me-he acted win totally different manners and definitely did act like a jerk at some points. I struggled to buy this actually happening in real life, and while normally in Kinsella's books this is charming in a makes-you-feel-good way, I just rolled my eyes. I wanted to see her actually learn a lesson, and not just have a pretty package handed to her. I also felt like the ending had too smooth of a resolution. However, when she did, this fell flat due to her selfishness, causing me to feel even more frustrated with her. Throughout most of this book, I just wanted Rebecca to get a job in retail-it was obvious that she could be very enthusiastic about products and prices. She was extremely hypocritical and though I could see that she was good with people, I didn't really like her. As I'm extremely frugal and save every single cent possible, I found it hard to relate to the retail theory she continued to give herself. I was really frustrated with Rebecca's character. While I've loved every other Kinsella book I've read, I didn't enjoy the plot of this book and found it to be rather superficial.
