I didn't like it as much because I thought the characters were kind of horrible to each other. I know that's part of the story, and I know some people really enjoy those stories and relationships, but I don't. (Same reason I don't like Northanger Abbey; Tilney is kind of a jerk.) So while I liked them sometimes, I just couldn't cheer for them as much.
Still cute, still a fun story, still a good narrator too. And I'll definitely go seek out more books by this author.
Oh, another thing I really enjoyed again: the sense that the characters had some beliefs that I jived with but didn't feel hit over the head with. When it comes down to it, Chip has some pretty great wisdom about life and dealing with hard things and how nothing here is perfect. So two thumbs up for that.

Okay, I'm a writer, so I'm a little biased in stories about authors and editors, but I found this one delightful. It's also a retelling of The Shop Around the Corner, which I'm a fan of.
At first I was concerned that the neurotic first-person narrator would drive me mad (not generally a big fan), but I got used to it and it toned down a little bit from some of the scenes in the beginning, and I just thought it was sweet.
A fun, charming read. I listened, and I thought the narrator was also enjoyable.
Another thing that sets this book slightly apart is that the author clearly has a moral stance but for the most part doesn't feel preachy. Well, doesn't ever feel preachy, just has characters who are willing to talk about their own values. I liked it, I appreciated seeing a character who I at least sort of related to in that regard.
