The grovel!  Reader, I swooned. 

This book is witty, charming, romantic, and entertaining despite the lackluster cover. Grumpy sunshine, verbal sparring, strong female friendships, and a wacky cast of characters. The writing is sharp and enjoyable. Possibly the best first kiss in all of literature.
