A well written story, but to be honest, I'm not sure if I liked it or not.

I did finish it, so that's a plus, and I'm relatively sure this was the author's debut novel, and as such it's pretty impressive. There were parts I liked, some more then others, and parts I like didn't, again some more then others. But having finished it, literally just a few minutes ago, I'm not sure how I feel. I sorta kinda want more, but at the same time don't know if I'd read another book by the author (though I won't rule t out).

A few places call it 'chick lit' and I'm not even sure If I'd apply that label to it. The story seems weightier somehow, so much so, that calling it 'chick lit', doesn't seem to do it justice. (not that there's anything wrong with chick lit)


I can't help but think this is the type of book that would work really well as a group read . The overall story is a busy one, lots of stuff happens, and I just think It would have been easier to process had I someone to discuss it with; maybe then I'd know what I really thought of it!
