I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The main character (to me) was real. She wasn't some head strong woman who understood every single detail about her life and what she wanted. She was a woman who got caught in throws of life. Twice. Who among hasn't dated a loser? Or held onto a relationship because it was convenient and better than being alone - at least for a little while. I have met a handful of women who are 100% certain of who they are and what they want. This book appeals to the other 98 percent of the women I know. Zoe is not portrayed as being overly self-conscious in an outward way. She has a deeper self that we as a reader see. We learn about her insecurities through thoughtful inner analysis. Not the type of monologues that are successful in adding length to a story. Her reflections are pertinent and revealing in a creative way which complement the story. While Zoe plays the wallflower (at least compared to the other female characters in the book), her best friend Angela and her boss Carol, are both outwardly confident women. However, through the course of the story, we see what is behind the scenes, and are exposed to their own insecurities and doubts. The inclusion of these characters and how they are developed throughout the course of the story bring everything together.
The pace of the story is appropriate. I enjoyed the foreshadowing used to give the reader ideas about where things were headed, without revealing a completely obvious storyline. I also enjoyed the inclusion of humor, especially with her family and her boss.
In my opinion, the book is about finding yourself through life's difficult experiences, and using those experiences to understand who you are and what you want. If there were a follow up book, I would definitely read it.
