The fragmented narrative of this amusing novel makes for a quick and easy read. As a character Claire Flannery really tried my patience, but her social observations are so sharp and witty - as good as any I've heard on Live at the Apollo - someone get this girl an agent! Undoubtedly the book shares much in common with others classed as chick-lit, however beneath the breezy chattiness, there's something with a little more substance.
