I read this book in less than 24 hours as a fluffy pink antidote to the Grapes of Wrath.

It's a very typical (I'm tempted to use the term "cookie-cutter") chick-lit book about Alison, a 30-something who is dumped horribly, gets back on her feet, and goes through some very minor ordeals while trying to figure out how to make herself happy. She has an array of Sex in the City prototypical friends who give her various bits of advice about her love life.

The main thing that sets it apart is that Alison is a lapsed evangelical Christian, and there was some talk that made me concerned that the "big love" of the title would turn out to be Jesus.
