Did not enjoy this book at all. I am finding that her books are very boring. Was even to the point where I didn't think I would finish it, but I did. The ending was better than I expected, but still, not in a hurry to read anymore of her books.

I enjoyed this book, but not quite as much as some others. The love story was interesting and watching the main character grow and become more confident in doing what she knew was right.

I love this book. It's good.

Jennifer Weiner is one of my favourite authors but this wasn't as good as the others. I usually don't want her book to end but this one I had a hard time getting through.

Strong characters and an interesting story about overcoming adversity, compromise and ingenuity.

Not the best book I've read lately. The story line was slow moving and I found myself skipping a lot of the dialog. The last two or three chapters were the best but otherwise, not a "can't put down book." The only reason I couldn't put it down was because I was trying to get to the "good" part!

Good characters, interesting plot, not much excitement though.

An interesting behind-the-scenes look at what goes into producing a television show. At times it seemed very autobiographical as the author has a failed sitcom in her recent past. As always, Weiner's strength is in her sympathetic characters and their relationships with each other. An enjoyable read about taking risks, both personal and work-related.
