When YA author Elle Casey decided to write fiction for grownups under the name Kat Lee, I was right on top of it.  This book hits all of the things I love about Ms. Casey's writing.  Interesting main characters - check.  Lively fast paced dialog - check.  Bawdy references to biological functions (douche!) - check.  But I can only give it four stars because of the rather bland antagonists.  Every bad guy was a clichéd cartoonish stock villain.  You've got Abusive Ex Husband, Mean Boss, and Sleezy Strip Club Owner, and now you know everything relevant about the baddies.  Even the love interests were sort of bland - White Knight Cop, Lonely Businessman, and Tortured Artist.  Considering that the author's books for young adults contain far more interesting villains and lovers, I'm going to guess that this is a requirement for the chick lit genre.  That said, I still recommend this book, especially for anyone else who wandered over here from the Elle Casey camp.  The protagonists are interesting enough to carry the story and I'm eagerly awaiting the next book just to see how everything turns out.
