at first i thought liz was really annoying and because i thought the same about the do-over, i was kinda just ready to accept that lynn painter's books aren't for me (or that i've aged out of this kind of book) but then as she started not caring so much about living her life a certain way, the book and character got easier to digest. and then it was super cute!!! even though i thought she was annoying, it was believable how all of her worries had effects all of the issues in her life, it felt believable and made me sympathetic.
