Beginners Greek by James Collins

Boy, Peter, meets girl, Holly, on an airplane flight from New York to Los Angeles. She is reading a book that was one of his favorites so during the long flight they talk, laugh and fall in love. She give him her number and they part ways. Meanwhile he discovers that he has lost her number so is the story over? Nope, it's just the first chapter. Flash forward to 3 years later, Peter is about to get married to someone else. His best friend is married to Holly, don't worry the story will be told later on. This story is full of flashbacks and numberous storylines. While the story has an interesting premise, the storylines feel a bit contrived to make the story flow and have a happy ending. Honestly I didn't really feel that interested in the characters.

From other reviews this is supposed to be chiclit for men. Personally I was bogged down by all the storylines.
