"Matilda 'Effie' Heaton knows that life has been against her from the moment she was born. The fact that her initials spell out 'MEH' - the universal term for anything uninspired and unexceptional - just says it all. Effie has always felt like she's something of a misfit - that she's always been anything but normal. So with the world against her, and everyone around her seeming to have the dream job, the dream apartment, and the dream bloody fiance, Effie's decided that she's quite alright on her own. But then Theo walks into her life - a man who really shouldn't like her. And yet, he does. His aim? To try and get Effie to see what life has to offer her. Because life isn't just something that we can take for granted - a fact that Theo knows all too well. Because Theo has a life-changing secret, and just as Effie realises that she's no longer falling apart and is now falling in love, it quickly becomes clear that life might have other things in store for her ..."--Provided by publisher

If you find Effie really, really irritating at first, please persevere. Her unrelenting self-hatred and pessimism gets to you for a while, but a lovely Effie is under there somewhere. The characters & story are excellent and It's very funny.
