This one's chick-lit, but only because the main character is young enough to qualify. This is really more of a marriage-angst novel to me. At least she manages to pull something in her life together - jeez, in the second chapter she drives her children to school in her jam-stained pajamas (ok, that happens) BUT THEN continues on to have coffee with a friend afterwards! Ack!

Anyway, she improves and I guess the story does as well, but it still wasn't one of my favorites.

Quick read. I did laugh out loud a few times, but overall I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. I just didn't feel like I knew the characters well enough to care about them.

I thought I would never get through this book. It bored me to tears. Chick Lit isn't my typical genre and dit was recommended by a friend. Sorry I took her recommendation...
Others my like it, it just wasn't my cup of tea.
