About 200 pages in now, definitely into the meat of the book.

I think so far it reads very much like a rom-com film. It does read dated, but I think that's because it was written in what, the 90's or something. If anything, the fact that it reads as it does is a benefit: it kinda adds to the kooky, romcom stretches of belief that Shauna mentioned.

It is all a bit contrived, but for light reading it's perfectly enjoyable.
