The Best Laid Plans

I think this is a book best described as cute. Everything is a little overly simplistic: the characters are too flat, the jokes are a bit too on the nose, the plot is overly predictable, and the representation of canadian politics a little too black and white. But, still the book remains cute, and the author does not commit the egregious sin of presenting the book as something it is not and so I can't hold any of the books faults against it.
