What a pleasant surprise this book was!  I worried that it would be trite (one reviewer called it predictable), but while the story line might seem predictable, the characters themselves were not.  The author has taken what is one of the worst moments in a person's life...and sadly, something that is seems much too present these days...and turned it into a realistic story with a happy ending.  While I hoped throughout that our heroine would find a job and maybe even make a romantic connection, neither of those endings seemed as possible as many books make it so very evident.  Indeed, how it ended is not how I predicted it would at the beginning of the book.Lastly, as far as the information on layoffs was concerned, the author made me wish that the book one of the characters was writing about surviving a layoff was actually available!
