Just a few months shy of her 30th birthday, Gus Curtis
finally feels like she has it all: a strong career, great
friends, and a wonderful boyfriend. But all of this comes
crashing down when Gus discovers Nate, her 'Mr.
Right,' hooking up behind her back with her so-called
'friend' Helen. Soon it seems like the life Gus has
worked to make so adult looks a lot like the one she
already had as a teenager, and Gus is left with more
questions than answers: Can she win Nate back before
she turns 30 alone? (And if so, does she really want
him?) Is Helen really as devious and manipulative as she
seems, or, worse, is Gus more like her frenemy than she
ever imagined? And is she ever going to grow up? With
the clock ticking down to her birthday, Gus discovers
that sometimes the best thing about best-laid plans is
trashing them altogether.
I like chicklit, but I don�t always like the characters in the chick lit books..probably because I'm not a girl's girl. I didn�t really like the main character, Gus. She was whiny and really stupid. Her 'frenemy' Helen reminded me exactly of Edie from desperate housewives. I didn�t so much love her either, but I liked her way better than Gus. My favorite character was Henry, followed by Chris. I could only relate to the men in this book. Big surprise. Anyway, very light reading. Not bad, j...more I like chicklit, but I don�t always like the characters in the chick lit books..probably because I'm not a girl's girl. I didn�t really like the main character, Gus.

Even though chick lit is light junk food in the shape of books, there are still better, more interesting ones than this one.
