review 1: Just finished this book and I wish I didn't. I was expecting some story line to develop that wasn't obvious or just completely depressing. I was really hoping that there would be a point to reading 277 pages but there really wasn't. The title doesn't even make sense as there was no happiness in this book and while I can appreciate a good life lesson, this book was just confusion with concepts that were hardly expanded upon. It was extremely boring and repetitive.
review 2: I am so completely ambivalent about this book, it's kinda nuts. There were a couple of times in the first half of the book where I found myself snorting or chuckling out loud (in public!), but it quickly devolved into a confusing, chaotic collection of personal stories and problems that I cou... moreld care less about.I read some other reviews about the book before finishing it, but I don't think they actually affected my opinion of the book - some people are upset about the undercurrent of religious rigidity, some about the unlikable characters, blahblahblah. All of it - the "single girl tries to find love in the big city while wearing ____ brand shoes and carrying a $3000 purse"...gag me. It's like sex in the city, but worse somehow.I totally checked this book out of the library because of the adorbs puppy on the cover, and if he could have played a SMALLER role in the book at large, I don't know how author could have managed it. I like the occasional chicklit - don't get me wrong. But this? There's probably something that is trying less hard to be "intelligent" chicklit (and failing less miserably), if that's what you're after. less
