Finally, an Instruction Manual I Can Understand!

This was a fun, sexy book. Told with dual narration, that of Oz and Jameson, this book focuses on two college students who are inexplicably drawn to each other with more chemistry than double session O-Chem lab day.

Oz is a star athlete, on scholarship, struggling to keep up his grades. He has no shortage of promiscuous co-eds at his disposal. Jameson is more cerebral, but also struggling to keep up her grades.

Meet cute: the library. Of course!

I liked a lot about this book, but here were the misses: 1) Oz's backstory with his sister - mentioned only once and not thereafter, and it doesn't really inform the remainder of his life's decisions. It's surprising that a human resources manager so casually uses and mistreats woman. 2) The characters admit they like each other, do nothing about it, and then have the same talk again and act surprised about. Maybe a little more editing would have served this book well. 3) Jameson's motiviation to bang a random college guy. Well, why not bang Oz, then? I wasn't sure about that weird plot.

From a scale of 1 to 10 (this is a rating of how present these components were, NOT how good or bad they were): Romance - 6 (the book didn't set up a lot of big, sweeping romantic gestures, but Oz was sweet to jameson now and then) Smut - 7 (Could have used more, but it's there) Humor - 6 (the little jokes, anecdotes before each chapter gave me a chuckler) Cat and Mouse - 10 (it's the whole point of the book) Rich man / Poor woman theme - 0 (not a plot point) Sexy setting - 10 (what's sexier than college-age students with perfect bodies, and of course, the library)

I both read and listened to the audiobook version of this book. Muffy Newtown a/k/a Erin Malon NAILED the narration, as usual.

If college were like this when I went, I wouldn't have gotten ANY studying done.
