I am going to surprise even myself here, but I really liked this book. Chick Lit is not my usual thing, but when some of my fellow PBSers recommended this book, I felt I should check it out. It was much better than I expected. The plot did not start with the annoying and trite 'So-and-so has it all, a great job, a loving husband, the perfect career with a six-figure salary, a vacation home, a ...you get the idea' as so many nonsense chick lit books do.

Well she does start with the surface-level great life, but then she goes on to find an actual great life. There were many moments in this book when I rolled my eyes thinking the main character was about to do some cliche chick lit thing...but then, SHE DOESN'T, making the book eventful and one I could relate to.
