Helpful Score: 3


Chick lit with a little depth. I personally am not a huge fan of chick lit but this one was humerous and at some points feministic. Also, it takes place primarily in Iceland which I'm a world traveler and that motivated me to look up some info on the country. Besides that, not entirely memorable with the exception of nastaglia brought upon by the references to numerous Nancy Drew books. Some interesting quotes in the book "Sometimes the free fall out of love is quicker than the fall into it" (20), "One of the most important lessons life teaches you is to thell when a thing is over and its time to move on" (71), and "waiting for good things builds character" (125). I know that I enjoy books that have contemplative thoughts such as these.
