From an Amazon reviewer but I totally agree with this review.

The author has a peculiar style that wants to be cute and witty. Sometimes she achieves it. But over all, it sounds like she is trying too hard to be funny, so she ends up sounding more on the "bitter-sarcastic" side of the street. Maybe that was her goal? I found myself skimming through some pages because it became tedious at times. I suppose the only redeeming part of the book is her secret to lose weight: there is no secret. There is no "one size fits all" kind of diet, but that's it!
