Query: time that I will never get back

I really looked forward to reading Ready to Fall, I had heard that it was very amusing and a good beach read. I was never amused. I spent the whole novel wondering how it ever got published. The characters are annoying, the situation plodding and predictable, and the format was hardly groundbreaking, as it is often credited to be. The prose is juvenile. If you are looking for a good beach read, something that won't require too much effort but will still be worth your time, check out Bridget Jone's diary.
