Not having read anything by this author prior to this story, and not knowing what to expect, I was pleasantly blown away by the humorous and extremely smart dialog...why she'd not been on my radar before now is a puzzle that won't carry forward. The personalities of her characters brought them from 2D on the page to 3D in my mind's eye...there was exceptional realism in each and every page of this story.

Ben and Claire had a natural way about them that made their story so enjoyable. Their interactions never stopped being entertaining, with their witty banter and Ben's hilarious one liners, there was page after of laughter, and even tears a time or two. Being able to swing the emotional pendulum so far each way just demonstrated to me the depth of this author's writing perfection. I look forward to reading more from Ms Altenburg in the future.
