This was the very first book I picked for our new book club and I was disappointed. It was not the best book written by this author. But the group was half & half. The women who had never read the author said she was laugh out loud funny and that they loved the book. However the women who had already read something by the auther were disappointed but said it was still funny. If you are looking to pick this author pick her book "Apocalipstick" or "Spin Cycle" they are laugh out loud funny. A couple of the best Brit-Chick-Lit books I have read.
