Good, and hard to put down, but she's done others better. It was sort of a cross between Firefly Lane (which was better), the Laura Linney storyline from "Love Actually" (but this was better), and something else. Maybe the inconsiderate friend from Something Borrowed (don't ever waste your time reading that crap)?

Anyway, I liked it, and it kept my attention on the plane to Las Vegas and during the Garth Brooks concert my friend went to, but that's about all.

I did like Addie and Jordan, even though I saw that coming a mile away. But the Dan Swansea storyline was weird.

There was some clever writing in here, though. Like after Addie has lost a lot of weight and tries Internet dating:
To get a date on the Internet, a woman had to be many things, starting with thin and proceeding relentlessly to attractive and pleasant and a good listener and good company. Young, of course. Still fertile, still cute, with a good body and a decent job and a supportive (but not instrusive) family. The men didn't even have to be sane.
