It's basically a pastiche of The Shop Around The Corner, the old film, or You've Got Mail, the remake. Two people correspond online and end up meeting in real life where they first of all hate each other and then find that they're falling for each other. It's fun stuff, but nothing that hasn't been done before and not a whole lot was added to it to set it apart from similar stories that have been told before.
I really liked:
Bailey (she was cool)
Bailey's motor scooter
The museum
Bailey's dad
The town it was set in
I was not a fan of:
Bailey's mum (I never did find out why she spent an entire summer not contacting her daughter *who had recently been shot*)
Porter
Liking Bailey but not really liking Porter made me kind of ambivalent about the whole romance, but on balance I liked it more than disliked it.
Also, I've known surfers in real life and they were all dickwads, so the inclusion of so many surfers in this book did nothing to warm me to it.
It was quite an easy read but I found it hard to stay properly engaged with it and as a result it took me about a week to finish. I preferred The Night Owls (Anatomical Shape of a Heart)
