It worked, it didn't work. I really don't know. I liked it and yet it didn't really make much of a lasting impression.
Here I am about a week later struggling to remember anything that made much of an impression from this book. It's a the premise is that two college students decide to do a real-life Pygmalion scenario. Only we've got the goth-girl with a troubled past and the fancy rich boy with a broken heart.
Don't worry if you can't remember the story of Pygmalion. It's Elizabeth Doolittle or Julia Roberts with Richard Gere, but fortunately they explain all in the book, with examples.
The relationship is sweet and moves at a reasonable speed. There is no insta-love (thank god!). The thing I liked best was that Stephanie leaves Ethan for a really good reason at the end of the book. She feels like he isn't going to accept her for who she truly is, not the reinvented polished "pretty woman" version of herself.
The way Ethan gets their HEA, well that was precious and hilarious. I liked it a lot.
It's also well-written, with some depth of characterization. It's a nice little light read.
