Review: Not what I expected
Rating: 4 out of 5

I went into this book thinking it would be a light, silly chick-lit book, and I fully expected to roll my eyes at the main character's endless and ridiculous search for 'the perfect man'...purely based on the title. However, what I found was closer to a Maeve Binchy than a Sophie Kinsella (don't get me wrong, I like both authors equally...their work has a different feel from each other though) and I was pleasantly surprised. Instead of concentrating solely on the main character and her own issues and problems, instead we are shown a little microcosm of her life and the lives of her friends and co-workers. We are carried along on the day to day events that shape her life and her relationships. It was definitely not, in my opinion, a light, quick read. I feel that the author did a great job of making me care not only about the main character, but about all the people and animals she comes into contact with.
