Do you think your life is boring? Do you read books to escape your everyday humdrum life? Then DO NOT READ THIS BOOK! I was bored to tears by page 60 so I started skimming the book. I cannot believe a book was published without a plot! It felt like being stuck at a party you don't want to be at listening to stories you could care less about and all you want to do is go somewhere, anywhere, else to escape.

I wonder, sometimes, how some books ever get published. Maybe the author's editorial background gave her connections. Anyhow, virtually nothing happens in this book. The main character is given an interesting family set-up, but it's never explained or developed. Almost none of the relationships in the book change, and the "heroine" doesn't seem to learn anything. I'll give it a few points for some cute dialogue and an interesting set up, though.
I don't quite know how to rate this book. I've read books before (or seen movies in similar styles), and I just don't like them, even though I can recognize what they are meant to be.
This book is very stream-of-conscious. It's a book without any point at the end.
I hate myself for needing a point.

this is a friend of mine, very talented!
I thought that it was a VERY slow moving book. It read almost like someone's diary and thats great if you like that kind of thing but it got old very quickly for me. I couldn't even finish it because it just bore me to death. Not horrible but just not me either.
Holly doesn't lead the most exciting life. Her sister is engaged yet again, her editing job isn't very exciting, her ex-husband starts showing up and her shy co-worker makes her origami and asks her out...
Kind of a slow story, but cute.
