"Bridget Jones falling into a million little pieces" my butt, but I did really enjoy it. McKenzie gave a light touch to a serious topic (though I could have done with at least a little dark humour amongst the chick lit humour). I loved that romance was NOT the central thesis of the book and how it moved the plot through the everyday minutiae. It passed my 50 page hump test (if it isn't on track for the main plot by page 50, I might put it down - but by 50, Kate was in rehab! Love that) and I soon found myself searching for small moments to get a few more pages it. By page 350, I knew (of course) where it was going but I was still wondering "how is she going to get from here to there?" This is a book that should define the chick lit genre: light doesn't have to mean trash.
