Recomendation I recomend this novel especially to the girls as its a chick lit book, because
it´s about the values of friendship and especially as its a comedy it has very funny parts. I think girls who like love story´s would like to read this book because of that.
Also, I love the way the author describes every moment as if it was important and then you realice it wasn´t that much.
