I loved this book when I read it at 16 and would have said it was my favourite book at the time. I was excited to read it again, and it was quite enjoyable but somewhat disappointing because I’d remembered it being the best book ever. The last few chapters were especially enjoyable, and I liked the idea of using lists as part of the characterisation. There is some really clever writing in this book. Someone else reviewed this book and described it as a male version of chick lit which I have to agree with, but I mean that as a compliment because it is refreshing. It’s a great book for a different phase of my life!
