The Department of Lost & Found

Not sure what I expected. The main character is a 30 year old pretty well off woman working as a senator's adviser who finds out she has breast cancer, is dumped by her boyfriend and starts a diary while hunting down exes, being generalky mad and a bit shallow and trying to make the best out of it.
I think it is honest, in a way, not to overdramatize her life - cancer patients are the only ones who can really understand and being over anything is probably unhelpful. But I've read So much for that, by Shriver, and THAT was hard and shocking and bittersweet. Natalie's story is, well, a story. So if the angle is, let us talk about life and hard times, she does a good job.
