I slogged all of the way through it and am not sure why.  It might have been in interesting idea but to say it was poorly executed would be an understatement.  If you are going to write a book based on the concept of all legal marriages being arranged by the government then wouldn't it make more sense to have the book be about mature adults who are ready to settle down?  I have never listened to such a whiny, immature, drunken brat who was less prepared to make a commitment than Rainy, our main character and narrator.  She and her childish behavior totally ruined what might have been a good story.  Her friends were no better, between casual random hooks ups, near constant drunkeness, and an unplanned pregnancy that is treated as---well, it really isn't treated as anything other then something that may make someone look fat in the wedding pictures.I managed to skim through to the end---enduring poor editing and obvious inconsistancies along the way---in the hopes that there would be some unexpected twist to save the story.  There wasn't.
