The age differences in this book were refreshing. Typically women's fiction focuses on one age group, but having a young woman interacting with her grandmother's friends and having Eileen interact with young, hip Londoners made the story feel original.

Each character had a romance, but they were one part of the story rather than having the whole book focus on them.  The characters have ambitions beyond finding a man, and each works on herself as well as her life goals and other non-romantic relationships.
