Wouldn't Miss It for the World

I'm really surprised at the low star count for this book. I just finished it, and found it to be an enjoyable read. Was it typical chick lit - no. And thank god for that. Rather, this read more like lad lit - like Nick Hornby light, a character piece where everyone has jagged edges, and the end doesn't smooth them all into some perfect fit. The relationships are complex, and the characters are forced to grow within them, rather than waiting around for happily ever after. I would rate it 4.5 stars, and put it down feeling energized and satisfied with what we'd been told, and what was left unknown.
