Best part of story, including ending:
Matt is too dominating, possessive and irritating. The relationship between Matt and Sabrina is too rushed and does not go through the normal stages of an actual relationship.
Best scene in story:
The dinner scene where Matt and his son meets Sabrina's family was one of the redeeming points of the book. It was hilarious and at the same time, revealed the true side of all the main characters.
Opinion about the main character:
Sabrina runs a souvenir shop in Texas and has an eye for the most tacky and outlandish things. Though she has no idea about taking care of a teenager, she does not hesitate to risk her life to save Matt's son from his enemies.
