After suffering through Frankel's The Not-So-Perfect Man, I wasn't sure what to expect from The Girlfriend Curse. However, I found that I really enjoyed the concept behind the tale.
Essentially, a 20-something woman who has a gift--or curse-- for spurring her ex-boyfriends to marry right after they break up with her. Convinced that part of the problem is that she just doesn't fit in in New York City, Peg moves to Vermont to start over. Things don't go quite according to plan, however, and forces her to re-evaluate what she wants--and doesn't want--from a relationship.
The possible negatives: (1)It was shallow. (2) Much of the action was unlikely. (3) There were a few frank comments about sex and a fair number of curse words.
It was an light, entertaining read. Not the chick lit ideal by any stretch, but a good way to kill a few hours if you are willing to suspend reality and are okay with reading fluff.
