I had a blast reading this book. I loved having to go on this adventure with Lauren. She's a character in her 40s which is not often an age i get to read about. There is great Jewish representation, I learned a lot through their dinners during Seder and other traditions that were talked about .

I'm glad Lauren's "not mature enough to get married" fiancé runs. Yes it's obviously a big blow to Lauren on that day for the groom not to show up but it's good she got out of a horrible marriage before it even happened! 

Lauren's family is so interesting. I felt bad for Lauren having to hear so many derogatory comments from her mom about her weight. I was happy when she finally stood up to her mom. 

I like that she was able to start to trust another man through Rudy. Rudy became her driver when she had a car accident and can't drive so the company loaned a car. Rudy just seemed like such a great guy (

i mean, taking care of his nephew part time when his mom is in a coma?
