This was a lot of fun to read. Miles and Zoey are ghostwriters for competing companies. They help their clients write better profiles on dating sites and assist them with the initial contact with potential dates. Their first meeting is fighting over biscotti at a coffee shop. From there they engage in this almost silent warfare for the free food and the best table in the place. Zoey’s client, Bree, and Miles’ client, Jude, pick each other as dates and Miles and Zoey start flirting through the clients’ profiles, without knowing that they are really talking to each other. Luckily for them Bree and Jude still hit it off, even with some inadvertent mistakes and meddling by their ghostwriters.

I enjoyed Zoey and Miles’ confrontations in the coffee shop. Zoey was very determined to make a success of herself after her recent move to New York, even though she was scared of using the subway and exploring the city on her own. Miles was her first real interaction with someone that wasn’t work-related. Miles was a bit whiney. His fiancée had broken up with him not too long ago, and she was expecting another man’s child. He was sleeping on a friend’s couch and didn’t have any plans on finding his own place to live, until his friend’s boyfriend sort of kicked him out. The war with Zoey did seem to bring him back to life a bit.

There was a lot of fun banter between the characters, and both Zoey and Miles seemed to have themselves sorted out at the end. I think Zoey grew the most as a character, and that was great to read.
