Nailed was everything I expected it would be: a light, fun read. I enjoyed the plot, though it was a bit predictable. One may identify with Mandy's character, since she wants to build houses under a field in which males usually work, and she is good at asserting the fact that there should be no difference in the way the opposite sexes are treated. For example, I admired her for being bold about her clothing choice when working at the construction (a bathing suit with shorts) and how she defended her right to wear it. Clearly, she is not afraid to speak up. We find much more about her as the story progresses: how she has never had a boyfriend, how she has a romance-novel-loving best friend named Cam, etc. (it is so funny that Cam had to be the one to tell her she's in a love triangle) That is the main part of this story: the triangle's development. We know Boston is taking a break from relationships, having broken off an unpleasant one, and that he loves to read. A.J., a bit older than Mandy, was gluttonous and funny, but he also had a similar problem with an earlier relationship. With all three characters working at the construction site, the "triangle" was so fun to read about. Again, I thought it was obvious whom Mandy would choose, but her character developed well with little realizations along the way. However, the other two points of the triangle did not seem fully drawn out. I felt that there should have been more to their stories.
