Title: Not funny, not smart
Product review: This is below average coming of age fare. Jane is trying too hard to be clever and witty and consistently fails at both. Proves once again that hype makes sales, not quality. If this book had not ridden the coat tails of Bridget Jones, it wouldn't have been published, much less been the subject of such intense marketing. Others have commented on the run of books about single women, but is anyone else bothered by the number of books about single women IN PUBLISHING? Girl's Guide and BJ of course, but also Animal Husbandry and In The Drink. A bit of narcissism on the part of the acquiring editors? I'd say.
