The Starter Marriage

I always feel strange rating a book like this with a 4, after I've just read a really 'heavy' book with a 4 as well - but I do believe in judging books within their genre, and this one was really pretty good. 

It's chick lit! It was predictable and enjoyable precisely because of it. If someone was to ask me for a book recommendation, I probably wouldn't go here first. But if they wanted something of this genre - sure! Go for it! Nothing too offensive, the characters are consistent, the dialogue isn't unbelievable, and you feel good at the end. Exactly what I wanted out of a book today!
