2009 book 19

Heather McElhatton's Jennifer Johnson is Sick of Being Single
The description of this book--a body-conscious thirty-something becomes slightly obsessive about marriage after her younger sister gets engaged, etc etc--sounded a lot like most generic chick lit (and not my cup of tea), but McElhatton's Pretty Little Mistakes (a hilarious and excellent choose-your-own-adventure book) was one of my favorite books of 2007 and I thought maybe this book would turn out to be awesome. Well, parts of it were very funny, but I found a lot of it to be totally depressing. I think it could be considered a sort of satire of chick lit, maybe, or maybe not. I have some super mixed feelings about it, but I guess I'll give it a B/B-.
