What this book is about

Libby Mason is thirty, single, and torn: Nick is charming and creative but perpetually broke; Ed is wealthy and stable but doesn't make her heart race. Jane Green's British chick-lit comedy is lighter than her later work — sharp about the social pressures on women to 'settle' wisely, warm about what it actually feels like to be uncertain about love.
