This book can be happily enjoyed in a quiet afternoon. It has numerous amusing bits, after all who doesn't have a Cynthia in their life. The characters are decently fleshed out, you just got enough to give you some idea of who they are and probably can find a friend who sort of fits that description. While I enjoyed the book, it's certainly not a heavy read nor one you have to slog through. I thought the ending was more than a little abrupt and I guess much like life, there's no neat and necessarily happy endings. I would certainly like to know what happens going forward but somehow I don't think this is the start of a series. Maybe one has to fill in the blanks for themselves.
