It is hard to like the author/main character of this book. But I have to admire her honesty in not honey coating her life. I didn't really care for the book, but I'm glad I read it, as it kept me from going to the movie. The trailers for this move show a feel good, chick flick, and that is not what the book portrays. I am tired of being dupped by Hollywood. Read it just for that reason.
