I expected this to be a quick, fun read. It wasn't. The concept was interesting and something that happens to more people than we would care to know. But this book is peppered with editing errors which makes it an irritating, bumpy read.
For instance, as far as I know and in my humble opinion, it's "okay" not "OK"; 1 sentence is usually equal to about 12 to 15 words unless you have something very interesting to say. Even then, it should at least have a comma or a semi-colon. This book was filled...more

This was an interesting book. It took me back to the time I found out the same things about my ex and the divorce. I admit to not getting back into the dating game. It is just too much hassle.
While I enjoyed the book, I have a few problems with the editing. Here is a sentence from the book: Christmas dinner became a big engagement celebration. The remainder of the trip was all about wedding plans. Everyone wanted a summer wedding accept her but what did that matter? The author used accept instea...more

Good breezy read! Vanessa is a strong, independent woman who took great care of her life's responsibilities. She makes me want to stop complaining about my situation and do something to follow my own dreams.

I just finished the book this morning and LOVED it! It was so much fun, and I got completely attached to the characters. I was pulling for Vanessa throughout, annoyed at her friends, etc., and being from the Boston area I really loved the attention to detail for the familiar places. You feel like you are there in every "scene." At first, the flipping back in time from the present was throwing me a bit, but once I got used to the pace, I actually liked it - it made me look forward to getting back...more
