Goofballs in paradise Book

Well, by reading some of the reviews below, I guess I am the only one that really did NOT like this book. I thought it was quite IRONIC That Violet loved the screenplay because the lead character didn't need to be rescued... unlike Cannie.
She seems so whiney and down on not only herself but everyone else. To me this was NOT an uplifting book, It was actually rather depressing and I only finished it because it was the book selected for my book club so i felt obligated to finish it. It was a chore to read.
I have another one Jennifer weiners books and now i am thinking " should I waste my time? Hopefully little earthquakes is better than this book.
I just didn't connect at all with Cannie. I felt she was flat and i really hated the scene where she ditched the guy in the restaurant when he said it wasn't a date. Come on she can't be friends with men only date them ? Put your feet on the ground and smell the coffee. What is the author trying to say here ? Pretty sad in my opinion.
I admit I am not a chic lit fan, but i thought: Well, I liked Stephanie Plum so maybe I have judged chic lit unfairly..? This book was not worth the time I spent on it. Waste of time.

Update: I had another book by this author & I gave it away! I am not going to waste my time reading it when there are so many other GOOD books out there. This author is NOT for me. She dummies down her writing, my thoughts are if you need your literature dummied down for you then do something else.
This author has been added to my : DO NOT READ list.
