***Post Edit***I originally posted this under the title of a different book by the author! Sorry!So as I was looking for a cover image, I realized that there is actually a "prequel" to this book. It's the second book featuring the main characters. I picked this up from the Staff Picks section of my library, and had no idea.
I liked it. I think if we're looking at good, better, best, I'd rank it good. You know how there are some movies you would watch on TV, but not pay money in a theater, or even seek it out to rent? That's how I felt about this book.
It's a nice story about a nice woman named Diedre whose life seems really great, then lots of things start falling apart around her. I like how she deals with her roadbumps. I like the characters enough. I was a little annoyed with the whole idea that her boyfriend was part of this socially elite family, and that Diedre's life was being watched by gossip columnists. It just seemed a little goofy.
Each chapter has a short quote about etiquette, and I think that's what the title is referring too. But I didn't think they were anything too special.
Overall its a nice book, I enjoyed reading it, but I wouldn't go out and buy a copy for a friend.
I agree that this is a nice, fluffy book. It is good if you need a break from real life or heavier books. Don't bother reading the prequel. It isn't necessary to understanding this book and has some stuff in it that isn't entirely appropriate.
