At first I thought this book was a bit American look at me story, but once I got through the beginning chapters I began to enjoy the journey. Rachel is newly married and moves with her husband from New York to Chicago. Once there, she finds herself without a best friend, someone she can just ring and ask out at short notice. So she gives herself a year and goes on a friend hunt.
Trying to use any opportunity to make friends, she decides to search many avenues to finding new girlfriends, which comes across much like dating and finding a man. I thought it was a bit silly, but speaking to some girls at work in similar circumstances, I think many people find it hard as they get older to make new friends. We all have lots of acquaintances, but it is so much harder to find a friend that you want to share secrets with, or can rely on in a crisis.
So for that I think it is worth a 4/5.
