By the time this story was finished I was completely in love with these characters and the town they lived in. While I started out regretting my decision to purchase this book, I've got to say the writer won me over completely. The narrators have several lovely versions of that brogue, including one at the car rental place that's just awesome. Yikes! If you're like me and love hearing a Scottish brogue (think Sean Connery), definitely go for the audiobook.

But you've just gotta' love the way the Scottish Highlanders insult people. The heart in this tale takes a little while to find: it's buried under incessant bickering and name calling for a bit. But all of them learn from their mistakes and become truly wonderful in their own ways. These characters start out as ridiculously immature, led by their emotions, hormones, and circumstances. I don't want to say much, but I will say that all the characters, especially the obnoxious Bonnie, showed wonderful growth (including getting rid of the loathsome voice). But one of my favorite things about a well written book is watching the characters grow. I was thinking I had wasted money paying extra for the audiobook. The female lead started out being WAY too quirky and over the top for me, and the narrator gave her such an annoying voice I thought I wouldn't be able to make it through many chapters. I almost quit listening to this one early on. Can the pair build on their similarities to help each other find purpose and direction.and maybe romance too? Or will their passionate tempers fling them apart?
