I thought this was funny and charming. If you enjoy the tall tale model and are looking for a slightly literary love story I'd recommend it. I had trouble wondering how much was real and how much was exaggeration when I probably would have been better off suspending my disbelief and going with the flow. The writing was good and the couple are fairly described as "a hoot."
