This is a fun, lighthearted read. I really enjoyed getting to know the main character, Lindsay. While she is delightfully self-centered, it is interesting to watch her grow and evolve as the story takes shape.

If anything, the ending wraps everything up a little too nicely and a little too quickly. It appears the author got bored and just decided to throw in the happily ever after. But 80% of the book is entertaining and even delivers a few laughs.

At first, the Lindsey character turned me off and I wanted to put the book down. However, I kept reading and it turned out to be quite an entertaining story. Lindsey works through lots of "growing pains" and has to deal with a realization many post-college girls encounter: idependence. The story intertwines this self-realization with Lindsey's relationship to her father and his fiance(s). As another reviewer has already mentioned, the book did seem to end a little too abruptly. This is by no means a thought provoking novel, but it is a charming story that gives you a few laughs!
