I have to be honest... I read this just because I saw the title and thought it was funny. I wasn't expecting much from it. What I found was a funny, engaging story with good characters, a good plat, and great execution.
It is a quirky story with a female lead, who isn't anything like you'd expect. Although the characters are fun, the author does rely on stereotypical archetypes that fall victim to typical gender rolls and stale humor, but they do get off a few zingers.
The author is from New Jersey, and does take a few (ok, more than a few) cheap shots at New York.
