Robin is one of my go-to authors when I want to read a story that is not too angsty and has characters I can relate to. Having read all of her more recent books, I decided to read all of her earlier stories. Magnetic strays from the humorous pattern I’ve gotten so used to with her books.

At first, I had a difficult time feeling any type of magnetic pull between Layne and Stacy. Other than physical attraction, they appeared to be complete opposites (Layne’s logical approach to life to Stacy’s more carefree approach). The further along I read, the more I got a sense of their magnetic pull. Layne's best friends, Jenny and Molly, both get a thumbs up in my book. I don’t think anyone could ask for a more supportive couple. Sticks, on the other hand...yeah, well it would have been nice to see her and Stacy go at it a few rounds. My money is on the artist.

There were a few laugh-out-loud moments, and other than Layne and Stacy’s sticky situation, nothing else jumped out at me. In all, this story rates about a 3.5 rounded up.
