Running in Heels by Anna Maxted

I thought this book would be right up my alley and hoped it would give me funny insight into what my girlfriends went through when I was the first of our group of best friends to get married. What i got was another chick lit book where the main character is an unemployed publicist/journalist and an emotional mess and yet men fight over her like idiots (but she sleeps with all of them) and ends up with her finding the right job/career and right man, who was there all along (with her parents' mid-life crisis/marriage killer thrown into the mix as well). Swap the names, make the main character a little rounder, and flip flop the parental crisis and you've got Bridget Jone all over again. I rushed through this book just to get it over with.
The only things that kept is from being a one star was that the writing itself wasn't bad, I think the topic of anorexia was treated with appropriate gravity, and I think the relationship between Natalie and her mother was interesting and not fluffy.
