The Hairdresser and the Hero

I picked up this ARC because it sounded cute. And it is. But it's also well-written, with realistic, funny characters and a believable story. Even the secondary characters feel real (and funny). The dialogue is real, motivations are believable (even for the semi-villainous beautician, poor lady), and the romance grows from positive interactions and a dash of attraction. My only big beefs are that I wanted more of the heroine's backstory sooner (not just in the big reveal at the end), and I wanted in on her thoughts just before the final confrontation/discussion (not just when she's telling the hero why she was stupid). Still plenty good enough to keep in my collection instead of deleting. My opinions are my own and left freely.
