The book follows Jane as she stumbles her way through a few relationships that never quite seem to work out. Eventually, after several years wasted on a much older and alcoholic man, she figures out that she needs a guy who will love her for herself. Duh.
Jane is the queen of the one-liners, quipping her way through the story, often upsetting those she is merely trying to amuse or impress. The book is hyped as being funny, spirited and delightful but I found it rather boring at times. The humor didn't appeal to me. Also in the middle of the book is a chapter about a neighbor of Jane's that seemed to have nothing to do with the rest of the story. That was more than a bit confusing. I thought the ending was too pat and maybe was contrived to give the author the chance to take a few shots at The Rules, a book about how to get the man of your dreams.
