I wasn't sure what sort of development to expect when the main character and I align on one very key life-view right from the get go and the story starts with an apparent happy ending. I was right to be worried - the "I'm going to suddenly change my mind about something as major as having kids just the keep the dude" storyline was anything but original. We couldn't just have one book where she's childless and happy, could we?
Also, unsure if the character or the writer was fat phobic, but the multiple times derogatory comments were made towards fat "NPCs" left a whole other bitter flavor... Don't even get me started oh how altogether unpleasant the main character is... She's entitled and rude, and her holier-than-thou I know best always attitude is irritating to no end.
