I read this book because i needd something light after handing in 7,000 words worth of essays. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't want to read it again. I hate to say it, because I know the subject matter of the book is sad and because I don't want to sound pretentious, but I thought that it was a bit too fluffy. I definitely laughed out loud many times while reading this. The one thing that I didn't like was that I felt Ahern seriously overused the word giggle. No female charcters lauhed, it seemed, they just giggled. This was enjoyable to read once, although I think someone more partial to chick lit than I would enjoy it more.
