Those of you who know me most likely also know that I am at best ambivalent about romance novels and at worst find them atrocious. Even so, Only Love is an enjoyable, quick, fairly tasteful bubblegum book. It does not provide much depth, as far as probing the human heart, but Segal has his moments of insight.

And then I didn't feel satisfied with how it ended. So if you're
