Entertaininjg Chick Lit from the author of Running in Heels and Getting Over it. This one is about a matchmaker who has trouble getting her own love life in order. Cute and funny.

I really really loved this book. In some small way, it helped me on my journey as an adult wondering when I'm going to get it together (evidently never). Although the book deals with a serious topic, it remains conversational and easy to read.

Definitely not your typical chick-lit that I usually am drawn to. Though there are several witty and entertaining characters, the core of the story deals with the serious issue of date rape and the aftermath. The author does an excellent job of drawing you into Holly's life as she tries to cope with her experience while trying to maintain a sense of normalcy in her life. Though she stumbles along the way, she proves to herself that she is a survivor.

Several sub-plots involving Holly's sisters, parents and friends that I found intriguing as well.

I read this book with high hopes after enjoying another of Anna Maxted's books. It was OK, but not funny like the "Getting Over It"
