Best part of story, including ending: It's a funny guessing game between Bill, Harry, and Sam, who have three totally different personalities.

Best scene in story: When Donna thinks she's hallucinating and sees all three men in one room.

Opinion about the main character: Sophie is idealistic and a romantic, maybe deep down, she invited the guys because she wants her mom to find the right one for her too.
