Banks' writing is very straightforward; she puts on the page exactly what you've been thinking all along but were afraid you'd be thought as weird for admitting it. While most of the chapters revolve around relationships, I wouldn't quite categorize her novel as "chick lit". It felt very familiar, like talking with your best friend about all the crazy shit that goes on inside of your head. A companionable read, something that I could take into a coffee shop and not feel like I was putting on airs with my book choice, or feel out of place because my choice wasn't up to the Starbucks standard. You fall into an ease with this novel and that's something I find very refreshing.
