This sequel to "The Pursuit of Love" is far more light-hearted and humorous than the first book. I found the focus was a lot more on the plot and the silliness of the characters this time, rather than on the rather reflective and observational tone of the first one. I enjoy it very much as a comfort read that introduces many aspects of life in the 1930s, but it is far from revolutionary writing.
