Title: Entertaining, Atypical Romance Novel
Review: Chick lit, where the heroine is not immediately likable--gruff, pro-military, masculine, totally clueless. In an effort to win over men, she adopts Doris Day's mannerisms and discovers that they work to her advantage. The writer's voice makes the book funny and easy to read. But I found myself gagging a lot over the Doris Day references--it felt incredibly antiquated and old-fashioned. In general, though, characters break out of the typical romance novel archetypes.
