If you can get past what might be the worst title and jacket ever...this is a smart, fast read that has some of the feel of chick lit but is a bit deeper and more affecting despite a bit too much cuteness. I'm a bit on the fence; the subject matter is actually fairly serious and heartfelt but the style--emails, letters, interspersed narrative--is aggressively breezy and flippant which undermines the issues. I think it's trying to be serious and commercial...and half succeeds.
