This is the first book I read by this author. It's English chick lit, which is always a bit different than American chick lit. This story has a lot of damaged and screwed up people who are real emotional survivors. The interpersonal situations and the character's lives are quite messy, and everyone has something in their background that is very flawed or hurtful. But they persevere and keep on going forward to reasonably successful lives with some semblance of lasting love, or at least close enough. A lot of the reviews see the book as unlikely and with poor characterization. Too me, it seems more like a more British style novel where EastEnders soap opera meets Bridget Jones' Diary.
