The Understudy was a cute little bit of fluffy chicklit – if the main character is a man, can it still be chick lit???? It’s was an “understudy” sort of book – a not great but waiting in the wings to go on, perfectly acceptable sort of book. I liked the ending. Boy didn’t really get the girl. Boy didn’t get his big break and become the star he always knew he could be. No nice neat ending.

I’ve heard the Nick Hornby, et als books referred to as “lad lit.” Would this book fit into that category?
Lad Lit – ok that works for me. I’ve read a couple of Hornby books, this fits.
