![]() Hats off to the author for making me like a character named Richard. The're the guys that get friend zoned in the end. Richards in books aren't supposed to be cute. ![]() But don't worry eventually it'll all turns out okay, okay better than okay in the end. Have I right? Basically my girl gets dumped and fired on the same day. Now i have told you before that this is some super cute stuff with a chicklit-y vibe to it.
