Zo was adorable and reminds me of some of my more driven students. The dad, though, drove me nuts. I mean, really? Your kid might be self-sufficient but she's still just 16.

Looks like this one is one of them I would read. Plus, with it being light and short has it's appeal. I'm surprised the romance didn't feel forced being so short.

I felt like this book bathed me and rinsed out anything that was causing me to tense or other. <br /><br />"our sweet romantic haze tempered by our nervousness over the impending showdown when Ned learns the truth of Jo’s presence, giving us just enough of a bite to the story to keep us interested and emotionally involved."<br /><br />That was my main problem with the story, though. I feel like Ashby ripped away that showdown, since Ned doesn't really react to her unveiling.
