I heard the author being interviewed and was intrigued. Was this bestseller really as cynically dashed off as I suspected? Yes, of course it was. It's (very) poorly written, oddly paced, and has a completely unsympathetic heroine. In fact, all the characters were horrible, probably because most were stereotypes that literally made me cringe as I read. The descriptions of the gay and fat characters in particular were downright offensive. Even the endless stream of dogs was annoying. But kudos to May for finding a formula that works for her.
