I think I enjoyed the first one in the series more, but this one was still very cute. It did loose a bit of the magic from the first one in that she was discovering this whole new world that existed in downtown New York, no less. Swendson did manage to hold onto it a little when she had the Texan parents come to visit and the readers got to here the couple bicker over what mom SAW.For those of you out there anxious to discover if the herione gets cozy with one or the other of the men she is interested in, you will discover the answer to that one in this book.
