Title: A slew of characters but a great ending
Review: The narrator's 'voice' isn't quite as snarky as the author's first book. There are more characters to keep track of in this book, which makes it difficult to remember who/what it is talking about at times. The story focuses more on other characters' dramas than the main character, Harriet. Like the first book, lack of self-confidence and paranoia feature prominently, and most of the drama stems from these plus a lack of communication. However, I found the ending of this book much more satisfying than "Asking for Trouble". If you enjoyed that book at all, you will enjoy "A Promising Man" too.
