Title: Irony is not ironic
Review: irony: the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humours or emphatic effect.There are a few unforgivible mistakes in the literary world. Misunderstanding irony is one of them. If you write a book, a post, a song, a blurb, or speak about irony, it sounds stupid to people like me when you got your definition of irony from a song from the 90's.Stephanie Bond LOVES to say things are ironic, she has her characters smiling at the irony, reflecting on the irony, marveling at the irony and almost choking on the irony... yet NONE of the situations involved are actually ironic. None. How does a writer, an editor, and a publisher not understand a high school vocabulary word and how to apply it when writing a novel is beyond me.This is otherwise an entertaining book about a man who dies and leaves his three wives to deal with the fallout. It's not particularly groundbreaking or a new story, but it was not a rip-off at $0.99.
