I'm a sucker for a cute cover and a catchy title, so this book was a shoe in for me to read. I'm not as disappointed as other reviewers about the book, but I'm not as into it as others are either.
General summary:
Like so much chick lit (which is a genre I tend to favor), this is about a girl who thinks she's got it all only to get dumped and everything to crash around her. In her grieving process she goes a little off the deep end. She ends up with a restraining order, unhappy friends, sleeping with too many men (including the ex), losing her job, etc., etc., etc. Honestly, the list continues. There were so many things packed into this book that it's hard to list. Just think of the bad possibilities and expect them here.
My thoughts:
It sucks getting dumped. We've all had that moment of craziness where we plan some sort of revenge. This may justify driving by his house/work, leaving messages on his phone, or things along those lines. Ashleigh (main character, sorry, forgot to mention that) goes further than most of us. I'd say that giving up everything good in our lives for a guy is probably not something most women do. I felt that Manby was just trying to one up each possible scenario of a break-up. Generally this was outrageous enough to be funny, but I missed the witty dialogue that chick lit is famous for. I was hoping to get something like Hissy Fit, but was let down.
