It's chick lit so you know how it's going to end. However, it was exactly the kind of light beach read type book I was looking for. It was a very quick read for me. I didn't want to put it down.
I got sick of chick lit a few months ago. I read Holly's Inbox, which I thought had every chick lit cliche (main character with a crappy job and money problems, supportive friends, embarrassing parents, crappy ex, etc.) Holly's Inbox was a warmed over Bridget Jones's Diary.
Mating Rituals of the North American WASP did have these standard chick lit devices, but it still felt interesting and unique. Plus, I'm a sap for a happy if somewhat unrealistic ending.
I let a friend borrow this, and a friend of hers who obviously didn't know what a WASP is was rather confused as to why she was reading about wasps. Ummm.
I've got several more chick lit books to read. I sadly have no plans for the beach this summer, but if it ever warms up enough for the outdoor pool to open (they close the pool if it's not 65+ degrees) I'm feeling better about picking them up.
