I got this book when it was free, but if you're considering purchasing it, be aware that less than 50% of the file is actually the book - the rest of it is previews for her other works.  You're basically subsidizing an ad, as the content up to that point is also very slight.I really wasn't clear if I was reading a collection of short stories with different main characters (unlikely, as each main character seemed to have an identical voice and shared common complaints), a collection of non-fiction anecdotes (possible, as the final piece is about the value of chick lit and is written from the clear POV of the author), or a collection of short stories about the same character (if so, this was very confusing - one minute she's dating, the next minute she's telling us her husband is walking into the room, and the next minute she's dating again).The humor was forced and trite.  The whole "guys are pigs and ladies love chocolate, am I right, huh, huh?" bit.  There was actually a riff on filling out a questionnaire for a gym membership that was so old and tired it made me feel sorry for the author (a variation on the whole "Sex?  Yes, please" bit).Looking at the reviews, it is clear that many reviewers find the author hilarious and talk about laughing out loud while reading.  If the mere thought of going to the gynecologist or trying to find something in your purse (there is also so much in there, am I right, huh, huh?) makes you giggle, this may be a collection for you.  If you like your humor with a bit of wit and originality, I suggest that you keep looking.
