This is yet another angst-ridden (but trying to be funny) account of a directionless woman dealing with approaching thirty spawned by Bridget Jones. This territory has been covered before with more wit, style, originality and humor (by Elinor Lipman and Laura Zigman for example). Unlike other readers, I could not relate to Shannon at all despite sharing many similarities with her. I found her boring and irritating. Based on the other reviews, I had been hoping for and expecting much more. Don't bother.
