I wish I'd liked this more, but How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is both classic and has aged quite poorly, so this doesn't feel original enough, and then you have to spend most of the novel reading about the two main characters not being all that nice to each other! There are some good bits about female friendship, workplace assertiveness, racial identity development, etc., but I wanted to enjoy these characters more than witness them sort of torture themselves and each other.
