 I've been on a Jennifer Weiner kick recently, including her memoir and the amount of things I realized were just self-inserts in this book were almost uncomfortable. It felt very early 2000s fanfic (to be fair it was written in 2001, but it's not fanfic, so...). Anyway, the premise of the book is decent, although I have no clue why Cannie spent any time with Bruce - he was a pain and overall useless to her. However, once things took a turn for Cannie there was no stopping her and it was just silly - like girl gets everything she wants (and more) and still can't stop whining about it.
