I loved this book. I disagree with the reviewers who didn't think the book had much of a plot. I liked the plot because a lot of unexpected things happened and I had to keep reading to see what would go on with Allie next. I also agree with one reviewer who said Allie and her co-workers, friends, and family were like people you know. That's exactly how I felt. I loved her best friend, Michael, abd thought it was cool that her best friend was a heterosexual guy (I've read a lot of chick lit books where there is always a stereo typical gay best friend and don't like the stereotype.Allie's mother is funny and wonderful and her future mother-in-law kind of reminded me of Marie on "Everybody Loves Raymond." (And Brad reminded me of Raymond, always giving in to his mother).Since I've never been to California, I enjoyed reading about it through the author's eyes.This book is definitely a keeper, and I will probably re-read it.
