The premise sounded interesting, but I set this book aside in irritation after just two chapters. Reason? The narrator is shallow, whiny, lazy, judgmental, and more than a little annoying to me. Yeah, being older and unmarried isn't much fun, and working in a job you don't like would be draining, but all she seems to do is whine. Nothing is her fault, life is unfair, trying to change anything is just too hard and doomed to failure anyway because Reasons (which are, of course, immutable and also not her fault).

Maybe she gets better later in the book, but I don't have the patience to get to that point, if it even exists.
