Unrepentantly frivolous and romantic, but that doesn't make this any less fun and worthwhile! 
 Plays more successfully with different points of view than in her previous book, and was educational to boot. Who knew that most black hair care stores are owned by Koreans?? (I unscientifically confirmed this with a friend) It also very handily uses tonally dry, sometimes 3rd person, summaries that complete a character's life story in a few pages/paragraphs or less to flesh out the stories of all the throwaway side characters that intersect the primary story line. It's surprisingly satisfying, even when things don't work out. Life goes on....and then someone does find happiness after all. :)
