There are three things you need to know about Janie Morris: 1) She is incapable of engaging in a conversation without volunteering TMTI (Too Much Trivial Information), especially when she is unnerved, 2) No one unnerves her more than Quinn Sullivan, and 3) She doesn't know how to knit.

After losing her boyfriend, apartment, and job in the same day, Janie Morris can't help wondering what new torment fate has in store. To her utter mortification, Quinn Sullivan- aka Sir McHotpants- witnesses it all then keeps turning up like a pair of shoes you lust after but can't afford. The last thing she expects is for Quinn- the focus of her slightly, albeit harmless, stalkerish tendencies- to make her an offer she can't refuse.

After railing against first person perspective in novels earlier in the thread (I'm sure more than once), I feel like I should mention that this book is written in first person as well. And it's really well done!

I like it when authors remember that human beings do not go through our days narrating everything to the invisible friend who follows us around. We observe and reflect, and occasionally our minds wander. This first person - Janie Morris - feels like a real person, and the reason I normally loathe first person perspective is that so few writers mange to pull that off.
