I suspect others will like this a lot more than I did. I thought there were three books in one. The first was a very rom-comesque opening, down to the two eventual lovers hating each other to begin with. I had almost no time for this and almost stopped reading. After that there is the second part of the book which details the single mother's struggles to achieve what she wants, with those struggles mostly being misogyny. I liked that some of the misogyny was perpetrated by other women which makes it all the more realistic. The final part is a kind of mystery, which is enjoyable but not quite gripping.

I can understand why this book is more popular with female readers than male ones. However accurate it may be, it's just not that enjoyable to read 200 pages about how terrible your own gender is.
