Title: Reasons I stopped reading this book.
Review: I could tell you things about unrealistic plot and characters, and they would be true, but here are the things that really made me stop reading.1. Page two, main character explaining why she doesn't make her unemployed husband get the kids ready for school: "Plus, let's face it, wha man takes charge of the morning marathon?" This is a GREAT formula for ensuring that men will continue to not do their share of the child-rearing. Not to mention perpetuating 1950s gender roles generally.2. There is a character named Sassy. Who is sleeping with Cadmon but married to Drayton, who works for Konrad. I could go on.3. Page 36, final straw: A former boss is referred to as a "she-boss." Book was published in 2005, not 1955.If you like this kind of book, I suggest that you buy something by Jennifer Weiner or Marian Keyes instead.
