    I stayed up all night and read this contemporary romance novel three times—it's a masterpiece! The writing is absolutely superb, and the romance and career storylines are incredibly sophisticated. The sweetness and angst are both elegant and refined. The male and female leads are top-tier characters in contemporary romance novels, and all the supporting characters are captivating. In short, it's indescribably wonderful; you have to experience it for yourself. Novice readers should avoid it.
