2.5/5.0 stars 
 I went back and forth at least a dozen times before rating or reviewing this title -- and to be totally honest, I'm still not sure how to rate OR review this novel. 
 Maybe I'll try a little harder later.

 So, I've come back two weeks later, and I guess the only thing I have to add is that the overdone quirkiness is about the only thing I remember about this novel, which doesn't really give me much incentive to read it again in the future. I was attracted to the whole premise of a frazzled woman trying to start her life anew by declaring today to be an effort at creating change, but the story was just so chaotic and weird that the message was totally lost on me. 
 While the writing itself tended towards *fun,* it wasn't enough to salvage the disarrayed story or the irritating characters for me.
