Fluffy AF, but there are times that the brain just needs fluff and candy instead of scintillating intellectualism.

This was probably one of the better chick lit books that I've read over the past few years. The protagonist was flawed but not so deeply that it felt like satire. There were painful moments but none of the excessively cringe-worthy moments that have made me want to throw other chick lit books across the room out of embarrassment. The plot was fluffy but it was honestly fairly refreshing in its own way. There was a love triangle, which I didn't really love, but the characters (throughout the book) were fleshed out enough that the love triangle wasn't as blase as it could've been. And there were plenty of moments throughout the book that I found myself cheering on all involved parties, instead of just hoping for the best for the protagonist/her current love interest (which is how I have felt while reading other books).

Basically - if you like chick lit, then read this book. If you don't like chick lit then you most likely won't enjoy this one bit. I'd also recommend this book for someone who wants to read chick lit but hasn't ever delved into the genre; this would be a good starting point I think.

I'm definitely going to be looking for other books by Zoey Dean to fulfill the craving I have for chick lit from time to time. Thumbs up, Ms. Dean, for an entertaining and fun novel.
