This book belongs in the Sex and the City era... it felt almost too dated even though it was only written in the early 2000s. But somewhere around 3/4 through the book, I started to see the charm in it.

This is the first book I've read by Ms. Frankel. Based on it, I would definitely read future titles by this author. The book was comical and the characters pretty well developed.

Peg is getting over her ex when he calls her for a reunion. Thinking they may be getting back together, she agrees to meet with him but when he brings his fiancee, Peg can't take it anymore. Looking back at all her ex's, she finds that almost all of them got engaged with the next person they started dating after Peg. Peg is the chronic last girlfriend. She decides she needs to get out of New York and start fresh.

Peg buys a home on a huge plot of land in Vermont and moves there. On the train, she almost settles back in to her old habits when she finds herself attracted to a guy on the train, but instead ends up at Inward Bound, a camp to help those develop better relationship skills.

I'm not usually much of a chick lit reader but I wanted something a bit lighter to read and this hit the spot. It didn't invoke any cringe from me, which I find some chick lit can do. It's not going to win any awards but it serves a purpose and didn't commit any throw-able offenses!

I thought this book was a really fun read! Its really light & funny. The characters are funny, if a bit unrealistic. Peg’s wit & sarcasm had me laughing throughout though! If you are looking for a quick, fun read I would definitely suggest it! I’d give it 5 stars, but it was pretty predictable in the end!
