I read this book while I was on vacation and it kind of made me miss my own dog, Colby Jack. When I started reading this book, I liked it more than I thought I would. But by the end, I liked it slightly less than when I started. I don't know if that makes sense.
I liked the basic storyline, and even the supporting romantic plotline, and how minor characters were brought into the story.
The main character got on my nerves though. I got quite weary of her coffee stained clothes, tossing things in cupboards and closets to fake house clean, adding vodka to everything and getting drunk repeatedly, and basically just not really seeming to act like an adult. I'm not saying those people don't really exist. I am saying I don't like reading about a character who can't get her crap together for the duration of an entire book. Because it wasn't like it was a singular, noteworthy episode. It wasn't in response to some event from which she was going to emerge better than before. I think that's just how she is, and it was annoying to me.
But her dog seems nice.
