Oh god this book was... Not good at all. I was rather excited to read this since someone suggested it based on my love of Jenny Colgan and where I can see why they would have suggested it, this author is so far away from Jenny Colgan's, or any author I know of for that matter, ability to construct a beautiful complex story. I was very much in the mood for a contemporary fun and funny book and this sounded like it would fit the bill, however in the grand scheme of things Robin Wilde felt like a self absorbed privileged girl who thinks roughing it is having no man to elevate her self esteem. This book was talking about the Emptiness that a lot of woman, whether mother or not, can feel. I think it's such a relatable concept, but Robin uses the emptiness as an excuse to not feel empathy with those around her that are struggling JUST as much as she is. She has no sense of gratitude for what she has till she gets a man half way into the book and guess what from the first introduction of Theo it was blatantly obvious where they plot line was going. There was very little character development, no atmosphere, and the narrative was almost all internal. There was almost nothing redeeming about this book except for she kind of grows a spine at the end. I am very frustrated with this book. It was not good at all.
