This book is actually more funny and poignant than the title might indicate. It has a lot of good things to say about love and really figuring out what you want. Unfortunately, there are a few uneven spots and too many characters, the author needed a good editor to cull down to the core story because it's a good one!
Sophie was recently dumped and she is still not over the guy and the relationship. When her friend has a run in with the police due to alcohol and is given the sentence of attending AA to turn her life around, Sophie is quickly inspired to enter herself into rehab to get over the craziness that has come her way from her break up.
I completely adored this book. I loved all the women that Sophie ended up interacting with and all the stories that came with them. The many different ways a relationship can end and the many ways that women react to those endings - it was great.
I loved that this story followed the typical romance arc where just as you think there is happily ever after there is a speed bump in the road and the reader has to wonder for a minute if it will truly end happy.
This was the best book to curl up with during a month that maybe is focused on love a bit more than usual and see women band together to help each other through life's ups and downs.
It started as a silly chick-lit but I ended liking it pretty much. It bugged me a lot how some of the women were portrayed: thin white woman with perfect asses, big eyes and long hair. There was no diversity and a lot of characters felt like stereotypes. With that out of the way, I really enjoyed it cause it was entertaining and I could relate to the problems spoken about. I'm not sure if I would label this chick lit cause it's more than that but it's great if you're looking for something fun and quirky to read.
