The story begins with Stella after it all blew up -- failed relationships, failed careers, and it flips back and forth to that time "before" all the success. I liked the way the story went back and forth, because it gave me build up, and time to concoct my own ideas (which I throughly enjoy when reading a story). Keyes also created such a wide range of characters, who each contributed in such a different, but fulfilling way. I found Keyes to be witty and amusing, and I smiled and giggled quite often. The thing for me with chick-lit is it must have balance, and this book had a great balance of all those elements. I look to these types of books, to bring me through a range of emotions, without bringing me too far to the depths of sadness. There are some emotional parts, but just the right amount, that I am not a mess. These emotional parts are outweighed by the fun bits. For me, I got exactly what I was looking for, and more, because it was well written, and the story engaging.
