I've never read anything by this author before and I really wanted to like this book, but I had to give up after 6 chapters. When I pick up a book that I consider to be "chick-lit," I expect FUN and even though it doesn't have to be laugh out loud funny, I expect some funny moments. Wasn't getting any of that with this one. Way too heavy on drama so I will have to pass on this one and move on to something else. I have other books in my TBR by this author so I'm hoping there will be one there that will make up for this one.

This was a pretty cute book - I mean, chick lit, plus weight loss plus a new dog is bound to be entertaining. It wasn't great though - I just felt like there was something missing... I don't know if it was the presentation of the plot, or the characters but there was something... lacking. It was still a pretty fun way to pass the evening. I think maybe the problem was more of a pet peeve of mine - I just find it off-putting to read about someone's iPod...
