Review title: A total waste of time
Product review: Although there were some humorous parts in this entertaining book, underneath it was sad and depressing. The lead character has everything going for her; a great job, family, friends, looks, money, etc. Yet she is pathetically unhappy because she does not have Mr. Right in her life. The book centers on her 30th birthday, and the fact that she is not married. I found myself hating the whining,complaining, sad Charlie thinking that she will never be happy in her life. Also, there was an excessive amount of drinking to the point where it seemed like many of the characters were in a state of constant drunkenness.I am sure it was meant to be humorous, but it just brought home the point that many of the characters where deeply depressed and trying to drown their sorrows with booze.The moral of the story seemed to be that women always have and always will define themselves by the man they marry. I felt that the boyfriend she finally chooses in the end lacked character development.
