I grabbed this book without realizing it was a "memoir" until days later when I was set to crack it open and devour it. I had mistaken it for the typical chick-lit fare and was disappointed. Stuck on the beach without any other options, I began to read...and was NOT disappointed.The author is very relatable. She touts herself as a not-so-nice person in the early pages, but has the self-humor and grace to call herself on it and let you laugh both with and at her as she finds her way through daily dramas and mishaps. She's easily recognizable as someone you have known in your life and you can't help but enjoy the read even as her life has its ups and downs.
