Disappointing email-format chick-lit

Every Boy’s Got One by Meg Cabot

My review on Amazon | Book on Amazon

I have loved Meg Cabot’s “Guy Next Door” and “Boy Meets Girl” – there the email format of the book was carried off very well. But in this one, the email format is grating on the nerves, and it’s quite out of character for a man (Cal) to write so much in his supposed diary… really? Men think like that??

It is unbelievable that a cynic such as the character Cal can change his mind about “true love” based on some sloppy, childish acts by Jane.

Not a book to buy, and even if you borrow it, not a book to read more than once (if you can get through the once that is!). The dialogs seem contrived, and it’s almost like something spat out of a chick-lit churning factory. Not a well thought out story.
