not bad! the only reason i wanted to read this was so i could watch the 2001 version of the movie with josh hartnett in it (because i'm obsessed with josh hartnett), and i'm glad the book wasn't bad! even though all the men were terrible, i thought the women were actually pretty great. 

also, if you're like me, and you hate infidelity in books, it doesn't actually happen. i didn't find it very triggering at all!
