If it's not a romance, then call it women's fiction. This was an interesting coming of age tale, where the protagonist realized that fantasy is not reality. The tacked on fall-in-love with my ex-brother-in-law and he finally notices me after I lose weight was just plain tacky. Her later books are better, not great but better. Still too much first person man-wrapped angst for my taste. (

I started this book without reading the synopsis first, which made for a pretty interesting experience, as (for once!) I got to figure out who the love interest was myself. (Seriously, publishers, please don't give away the love interest of a story so breezily in the synopsis? It takes away from my investment in the story.) I wasn't such a fan of Millie, with her fanatical obsession with Joe Carpenter and misguided attempts to catch his attention. As a result, I wasn't as involved in her romantic and personal development. Still, you know, a fairly fun read, though I felt that this Higgins female protagonist was somewhat more annoying than her other ones. (

I found this to be a delightful, funny story. It more plain fiction than romance as we never hear the corresponding viewpoint of the men. The heroines friends, family, loves, aquaintences and dog all round out the story as we see her grow over the course of approx. 9 months. She starts a new career, makes herself over and finds joy and embarrassment and pain but ultimately joy. A person could call it chick lit but only if they also use the term dick lit for books typically written by and targeting men as they're audience. Otherwise, it is all simply fiction. (

Not my favorite of the books I have read by Kristan Higgins. Just OK. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0373771096, Mass Market Paperback)

Millie Barnes is this close to finally achieving her perfect life . . .

Rewarding job as a local doctor on Cape Cod? Check. Cute cottage of her very own? Check. Adorable puppy suitable for walks past attractive locals? Check! All she needs is for golden boy and former crush Joe Carpenter to notice her, and Millie will be set.

But perfection isn't as easy as it looks -- especially when Sam Nickerson, the town sheriff, is so distracting. Sure, he needs a friend after being dumped by Millie's fortune-hunting sister, but does she really need to enjoy his company that much? He is definitely not part of her master plan. But maybe it's time for Millie to start a new list . . .
