I went into this expecting a snarky commentary on modern marriage. Don't get me wrong, the snark is there but this is a deeply personal memoir about one woman's experiences with marriage and motherhood.

The first 30% of the book was solid. I laughed a lot and was impressed with the writing. Then she had kids and I couldn't relate to her as much. Then, the book started to feel repetitive. The final 10% was also solid, and I wish she could have made the rest of the book as engaging as the start and finish.

This book is NOT for readers who think marriage is a joy and that they would never resent their spouse. This book is for people who understand that marriage is hard work, even when it's going well.

While I don't agree with the author on everything to do with marriage, I respect the hell out of her for writing such an honest memoir. I think most of the people giving it poor reviews are uncomfortable with the fact that she says a lot of things someone "shouldn't" say about their spouse. This book isn't for those readers, it's for the readers who will relate to the author's journey and realize they aren't alone.
