Ehhh.... This book was a little annoying - entertaining, I suppose, but books centered around a bitter, grieving person are not really as sustainable as this one made itself out to be. Also, it seemed very drenched in New York... and I felt outside of its targeted audience, simply because I have never lived there. And the "precocious" 5-year old was UTTERLY UNBELIEVABLE. It wasn't quite girlie enough to qualify as Chick Lit, and, frankly, not good enough to qualify as Literary Fiction. Still, it was somewhat engaging and was certainly a fast read.
