I didn't mind the characters and overall premise of this novel, but it didn't have enough drama or tension. It sort of moved through the Duffy and Mel story with few WHAM moments. No high emotion or tension or genuine worry about whether they would end up together. I got a bit bored in all honesty. Even the subplots were a bit similar so they added little contrast.

It was just kind of okay. I'm not sure I will remember it next week but I also didn't feel the need to abandon it totally.

This book is written by a British male author about a 28 year old guy who won't commit to his girlfriend of 4 years. It's pretty interesting because it puts you inside of most guys heads. The storyline is very realistic and I really enjoyed reading the book.

Tried this author again but just can't get into it. Another story of a guy feeling sorry for himself the whole time. 'My Legendary Girlfriend' was about a guy that couldn't get over his ex for most of the book so he was sad and sorry for himself the whole time. "Mr. Commitment" was about a guy who is scared of commitment so when he refuses his partners proposal she breaks up with him so he feels sad and sorry for himself for much of the book... I was planning on reading "Turning Thirty" next by this author but I can already tell that it will be about a guy that turns thirty, feels like he hasn't achieved much with his life so he makes some toast and feels sad and sorry for himself for much of the book.

Time for me to move onto something a little different I think.
