review 1: In this absolutely delightful historical romance novella, Jade Yeo meets a caddish author whose book she scathingly reviewed, and he acts caddishly, leading to the greatest sex scene I have ever read. Meanwhile she wrestles with how she feels about her friend/colleague, Ravi. I'm no romance connoisseur, but the plot itself seems to follow common tropes for the most part, though it takes some unexpected turns. The reason I love this novella is because Jade Yeo is a wonderfully witty, charmingly naive, refreshingly honest heroine. Her diary entries are full of laugh-out-loud lines and heartfelt observations about the nature of love. I was disappointed when the story ended because I could have spent so much more time with her.
review 2: As silly as this sounds, th... moree four stars rather than five are because it was, truly, too short! I mean that in both a cutesy, "I didn't want it to end" way -- it was truly delightful, and I really didn't want it to end -- but also as a legit criticism. I felt like there could've been a lot more in the way of character development...although, admittedly, that might just be me not wanting it to end, because see above re: delightful! I was grinning like a fool on my commute, and the sly little Wodehouse references were the icing on the cake. More, please, Ms. Cho! less
