Hysterical, for the most part. How many times did they mention "Steve"? I wonder who he is, they seem to put every annoying trait onto him. Only problem was how many times they mentioned rape in a supposedly "sarcastic" or "funny" way. I get that they're basically all guys (one woman writer, 2 artists, 1 copy editor and some interns) but still, rape is just not funny. Once or twice to get a point across, but it got ridiculous how often it was mentioned.

Cute. Again, too many marriages at the end, but at least they were a bit more spread out and those that weren't had a reason for being so close. Cute characters, none overly memorable.

I like reading familiar names of people and places. Good, Austen-like characters, as always with Elizabeth Aston's books. Little too tidy at the end, all the proposals within minutes of each other.
