Review: Enjoyable chick lit, really not a romance

I really enjoyed the story and found it very funny in parts, but I didn't really care for the ending.  I don't see a romance here; I see a dysfunctional codependent relationship between Mackenzie and her mother Eleanor. I don't care for profanity in stories but in this rare instance I feel the author used it to give an effective portrayal of the frustration Dan experiences dealing with Eleanor and her relationships with Mackenzie and himself.  The book contains crude sexual references but no sexual descriptions.  Readers looking for something "steamy" will not find it here.  Readers who have little tolerance for "good guys" who are whining, codependent, manipulative and spiteful will probably not enjoy the story that much.
