There’s the smart friend to dispense with brusque and practical advice (Rachel), the more idealistic and reticent friend to be the first friend’s foil (Tish), the friendly and chi-chi gay couple, the Daddy, the Mr Wrong, the Mr Right, the Bitch that Stole The Ex Away, and of course, the heroine herself – these are all characters that readers familiar with the chick-lit genre can second guess from the get go.
The plot is very familiar and the characters are all from central casting. It’s not as bad as it sounds, that step-uncle thing, trust me. Her friends rally around her and Emma spends the rest of the time mourning, laughing, and complaining about men and life in general until she finds romance once again with her step-uncle Jack. These insecurities spring forth like water from a broken dam when she is dumped by her boyfriend for an older woman who wears a C cup and who is good for this jerk’s career. Despite being a book that is totally generic, plot- and character-wise, debut author Michelle Cunnah’s 32AA manages to be very entertaining due to the presence of a heroine that is actually likable and sympathetic instead of being self-absorbing and annoying.Įmma Taylor is self-conscious about her lack in the chest department although she tries not to be.
