Easily Amused by Karen McQuestion

This book appeared in my Amazon Suggestions one day so I downloaded it. I needed a light, quick read after finishing a deeply concerning book. I do that to sort of cleanse my pallet before moving on and it really keeps my read eclectic.
Through the first few chapters I found the character development to be weak. I felt that I must be reading the second in a series due to how little the author described the main character but I don't think that is the case. As far as I can tell, this is a standalone book though I would like to see a sequel.
Due to the lack of character development I created the main character in my head. As I read it I learned she was a size 8, so she shrunk. Then I learned she had brown hair so her hair color changed. Since this truly was a quick read that was not as bothersome has I would have expected.
The story line was fairly predictable as it followed the rhythm of most romantic comedies or chick lit books. But the author did a good job of keeping it fun without too much drama. Lola, the main character, seemed to have a good head about her. While she did get caught up in the moment a few times, she also never really lost sight of what was really going on with the man she was dating. She was, however, pretty blind to other things going on in her life. That balance made the story seem realistic, like it could happen to your best friend, opposed to other books in this genera that leave you screaming at the girl to get her head together.
Overall, I enjoyed the book and I look forward to reading this author again.
