I enjoyed the book and I love her blog. I definitely appreciate her "what's fun for someone may not be fun for you."
I had to disagree with her whole "force yourself to make friends with people in new situations even it feels unnatural at first."
I've tried that before in various work/social situations and either it didn't work (in other words, they weren't interested in being friends with me) or it was just horribly awkward and fizzled out.
But I think that just feeds into her larger theme of knowing and accepting yourself is a big part of happiness.
