I wish I could say I liked this one as well as the other books by these authors. It was cute, I guess. The story alternates between 2005, when the main character is confronting her ex-boyfriend in their hometown, and flashbacks to their high school years. Her ex became a famous musician and his most famous song is about losing his virginity to the main character. There are about ten zillion pop culture references to the early 90s, some of which are funny, but others just feel like they're trying too hard to bank on nostalgia. One word: Zima. Really? C'mon. Teenagers didn't really drink Zima, did they?

Anyway. Mostly the ex-boyfriend character seems like such an ass that you wonder why this girl would be hung up on him for 13 years. It's a bit insulting to read about an allegedly intelligent, successful young woman who is willing to stop everything in her life to track down some musician dude who seems suspiciously like John Mayer. Oh, whatever. I knew going into this book that it would be complete fluff. I just wanted some light summer reading. But I didn't think this book would be so light that it would practically float away. I thought these two authors had a more savvy slant on chick lit, something for the girl reader with a brain. Um, nope. Not this time.
