Other Comments: I enjoyed Blackston's humor in his novel, Flabbergasted.  I found this perspective on Presbyterian Christians altogether funny, friendly, and quirky.  I am NOT a romance novel fan, but I was happily surprised to figure out this book is indeed contemporary romance.  There was a lot of genuinely good humor.  However, I did find the ending slightly disappointing but I did get the point.  I was not impressed with the subtle inclusion of stereotypes for women and minorities, however.  If it weren't for these blaring realities, I would have rated this book a lot higher.
