Title: Suburban angst poorly rendered
Product review: Stuart Cross, pushing 60, is a senior editor for a small New York publisher. He's married to Andie, nearly 30 years his junior and movie critic for the New York Post. They move to the country for the sake of their two girls and hire Louise Washington, the perfect nanny.Stuart, although he's been in publishing for 30 years, seems to know very little about it. Andie, although she's been a mother for nine years, knows little about that and is plagued by guilt that she's leaving her girls with a stranger to pursue her career.Various complications ensue, none of which paint the leading characters in a positive light.The best parts of this book are the author's somewhat amusing, though repetitive, musings about suburban life. But the plot is predictable, the writing terribly pedestrian and the characters thoroughly unlikeable.
