Well written, not your typical chick-lit. I've had this book for a while and never read it because I thought it was going to be too chick-litty sappy but I really got into it. I recommend it. I'm surprised it's been on my shelf for as long as it has considering how good it is! I think the title and picture on the cover make people think it's another "Shop-o-holic"type book but it's really not!

I had mixed feelings about this book-- some the heroine made me mad and other times I liked her. Otherwise pretty good read if you like drama mixed with some humor. (i warn you it might make you cry or/and throw the book)
I really enjoyed this book and could not put it down. It is a Novel first and foremost. It is not the type of book I typically read for entertainment. I read a lot of romance and thriller. This book has deep characters with enriching experiences. I almost put the book down in the second chapter because there was something that offended me....but I went on and am glad I took the time.

This is the best of her books. It is true that at times the characters are not very likable- in fact Lisa's love interest is rarely likable. But there is something very real about her writing. I liked it enough to read it at least twice- if not three times.

I did not agree with any of the decisions the main character made and did not particularly like her as a person. Personally, I would have rather read about the life of her best friend/cousin. He was way more interesting.
Dislike of the main character aside, I must say it is well written and the plot is deeper than I had initially thought. This book evokes emotions by dealing with family, life, love and loss.
