I would put this into the "Chick Lit" reading category.  It is a fairly typical and mostly predictable story of an English school teacher and her chums, and their lives and loves.  The interesting part was deciphering all the English terms and colloquialisms.The book starts off with the main character in labor, and promptly drops the F-bomb in all caps in the first paragraph.  If you can get by that, though, it does settle down, and there is not a lot of that through the rest of the book.  However, it may not be suitable for people who don't care for sex scenes, especially outside of marriage.But those issues aside, for me, the story just slogged along.  It was full of great details, beyond the point of necessary information.  I didn't hate the book, but I didn't love it either.  I would classify it as a book to be read when you just need something light to occupy your day.
