5 Cranky Stars



Justine is freshly single after a bitter divorce. Her two friends Natasha and Mallory are trying to get her back in the swing of dating. So, after much haranguing she agrees to go out with a guy of their choosing. When she meets James, sparks don’t exactly fly. She’s a Mac computer, and he is a Dell computer. They don’t sync at first, but when they do get together, the gigabytes fly. (sorry for the computer puns, read the book and you will understand).


I really liked the nuances of each character. Justine was flawed as well as James, and while they didn’t exactly have an endearing first meeting, it was realistic and perfectly done. There was drama, romance, misunderstandings, and miscommunication. That is what I liked the most about this book. It wasn’t love at first sight, it was real.


I liked how we got Justine and James’ take on what happened. This is so you don’t automatically assume that one is at fault. They are flawed but together they are flawsome. I really like that the story didn’t rush, the author took her time with the characters and the storyline. I will definitely recommend this to others.
