Title: Dreadfully silly
Product review: Ugh, is all I can say. This book relies for impact on some mixture of prurience and sentimentality, without acknowledging that it's doing so. Its characters are flimsy at best.

Competent writing is a dime a dozen. Above all, this book's fatal flaw is that it's boring. ...
