Helpful Score: 2
I really didn't think I was going to like this book. Jen starts off very whiny and egotistical. Love me! Love my highlights! Love my Prada bag! You know, it's my world, you're just living in it! Yes, we KNOW you were a VP of a major corporation. You mentioned it every chance you got! I've learned through my years of being a secretary (excuse me, administrative assistant), the higher up they are on the ladder, the more helpless they are. This book kind of reminded me of the Shopaholic series, although that main character has absolutely no clue. But something happened half-way through the book. Jen started to grow on me because she was going through her own transformation. She realized her past actions and consumerism was the reason why she and Fletch (her husband) were in the predicament they found themselves in. No job, no health insurance, no 401K, totally broke, car repossessed, etc. When Jen packed to move the first time, her eyes finally opened to all of the crap she had accumulated and realized ... WTF?! I will now be reading the sequels, thanks to the public library! And, yes, even Jen realized she should have utilized the public library more! I say, plow through the first 100 pages and it'll be worth it!
