Negative Positive
Title: Obvious
Review: This book devotes most of its descriptive energy to portraying the unfulfilled life of this underappreciated "playground mum." It's depressing enough to put anyone off having children, and given the many advantages of Maggie's posh lifestyle, it comes off as whinging. Somehow the playful element that might add a note of comedy is missing.You might think that things would be spiced up by the plot involving adultery. I will not give any more details here, but I don't think I'd be spoiling it if I did, because all of the developments of this subplot (including its eventual ironic, "surprise" twist) are completely obvious from the get-go. I cannot recall the last time I read a book this predictable.In short, the plot of this book is not nearly exciting enough to warrant spending time with its irritating narrator.
