Seldom do I breeze through a book in less than a day, but, this book I did. Most women could relate to the heartbreak that Ashleigh, the main character goes through. Ashleigh isn't too experienced in the dating realm. She goes to a Christmas party and she meets a seemingly nice and normal man named Michael who asks her out, from then on for 2 years they date. Ashleigh imagines that they will get married or live together, even though Michael seems more than comfortable living on his own and he never offers to have her live with him.
Then one day out of the blue on Facebook no less, Asleigh sees that Michael has changed his status to "No longer in a relationship" with absolutely no explanation to Ashleigh. From then on Ashleigh gets out of control trying to get Michael back. She ends up endangering herself, her job, her finances and her sanity while trying to get Michael back. She matures, but, she has to learn the hard way like so many of us women do.
This is chick-lit with a comical twist. It is written by a British author, so some references in the book Americans may not be familiar with. I enjoyed this book and could see my much younger self in some of the things that Ashleigh did or thought. Though, I never got quite as crazy, there were many times I cringed with embrassment for Ashleigh. This book made me think of my single days after my divorce, and it made me appreciate my wonderful husband even more when I remembered all the turkeys out there in the dating world.
I'd definitely read another book by this author. It does appear this is a re-release of a book published in the UK in 2010 by Hodder Ome/Hodder and Stoughton under the same title. I don't know if it has undergone significant editorial change.
