If I Never Met You by Mhairi McFarlane
3.0
Almost tossed it. The first 20% or so were all self-loathing and questions about why Dan would ever leave his loving late-30s partner Laurie. Until the younger punk womanizer in the office, Jamie, gets stuck in an elevator with Laurie (seemed like about 250 pages in), I hated turning every page. After that the rest of the book was pretty obvious. There's a lot of Men Are All Bastards bashing, which is true. The one thing that struck me was one of the women wondering how her non-existent male twin would have managed. Yes, there is still a ton of sexual inequality in the workplace, and everywhere else. Despite that, it turned out to be clever, amusing, hardly even PG-rated chick-lit.
