I did not expect to enjoy this book as much as I did. I picked it up mostly because I kept seeing the author's name and so felt obligated to read at least one; I was quite rewarded. Weiner's writing is very clever and snappy, yet it doesn't insult the reader. She makes you care very much for her heroine; Cannie feels very real in her personality and in how she reacts to her situations. Unfortunately, those situations are cliched - not many surprises here - and the supporting characters are quite two-dimensional (the good guys are really good, the bad sympathetic yet unredeeming) and some of Cannie's adventures read more as a daydream than a realistic experience (what you'd want to have happen vs. what would). Give Weiner a truly-experienced story and I'll bet she'd knock it out of the park. Regardless of the minuses, however, I recommend "Good In Bed", a very enjoyable read.
