After catching her husband having an affair and being fired from her job, Maggie Walsh suddenly finds her perfectly organized existence has become a perfect mess. She decides, for the first time in her life, to do something daring -- and flees to her best friend, Emily, in the faraway wonderland of Los Angeles. In this mecca of tanned, beautiful bodies, unsvelte, uncool Maggie is decidedly a fish out of water.

Well, this book is not one of the finest literature written, but that is not the intention. It is a great story for everybody who wants to have an easy read and get a good laugh. I think that is the only pretension the book has and it’s enough for me!
I've read several of her books by now, and this is one of my favourite. Especially because of the ending...
