2.5 stars objectively, but since it suited my book needs at the time I give it 3 stars. This was not a book with much substance. Sometimes I just need to read a book that is "fluffy" and light, and this was one of them. I would have given it a stronger 3-star rating if there hadn't been so many annoying gender stereotypes. I disagree with generalizations about men and women, so I was bothered by the frequent statements and jokes based on them. 
 Before I get too critical, though, I should admit that I did finish the whole book. I do not recommend this book, but I appreciated the lighthearted diversion. I think some people with different personalities than me might really enjoy this book, as the prose was almost funny. It just wasn't my style.
