I found the main character in general very unlikeable and the book mainly consisted of her workplace abusing her in every way possible. There were parts I enjoyed, but for me the pacing of the book was generally off. For a long time the plot didn't seem to be going anywhere and then the climax came at the very end of the book, which left me as a reader incredibly confused. It wasn't terrible, but I don't see myself picking it up again.

- Medium read (6 hours)
- I hated Nigel and the use of 'flamboyant gay' stereotypes. I also disliked the inconsistencies (both physical and characteristic differences) between the movie and the book.
- I loved Andy's wit and various relationships. Her friends are more reasonable in the books and the ending makes more sense. Weisberger's writing style is fresh and makes me want to read more books by heYou could sense the effort and comprehension in the character development and traits.
