Title: Whiny, overprivileged homewrecker seeks sympathy
Review: It takes some skill to fool people into thinking you have written a great novel (Booklist gave this a star????) when you have produced drivel with not a single likable character. It's really an achievement to make a mother who's just lost a baby unsympathetic, but this author has done it! In fact, the only character more irritating than the narrator is the stepson, who I would have pushed off a pier. I wound up wondering whether the poor baby was better off wherever souls go than living with these self-absorbed morons. I can't figure out why the reviewers think this was funny. What was funny? That she sold this to a big publisher? Like -- joke's on them type-stuff? I don't get it. What am I missing? Was it supposed to be a black comedy? Does anybody want my copy?
Is the review positive or negative?
