This is a bit of fluff of chick lit. The first chapter, was unfortunately, the best chapter. The book is a series of stories about Jane, an all-american girl who is trying to find Mr. Right a la Bridget Jones' Diary. Unlike Bridget Jones, the story skips around in time for no apparent reason. Also, one chapter in the middle is meant to be a flash-forward in time by about 35 years, but no explanation is provided and leaves the reader with more questions than answers. It is almost as if this chapter were transplanted form one book to another, with no rhyme or reason to it. The characters are flat and bland; the reader is not compelled to like any one of them. Indeed, the entire story is just fluff, with no real substance to tie it all together.
