I remember when this book was published in 1999 & how it was hyped as the next Bridget Jones's Diary.
I'm glad I waited till 2024 to read it.
It's not like BJD beyond having a young, single woman narrator. Jane is witty, smart, & uncertain, dating & working in NYC. It's more Sex & the City ➖ the fabulous wardrobe ➕ a bit more depth. Reading the stories while visiting Halifax, the city where I spent my early 20s, probably enhanced my enjoyment.
