Unfortunately, this book did not meet my expectations. The characters are comical and one-dimensional, with actions and motivations that make no sense. The main character is the queen of avoiding responsibility for her own life, blaming her parents and husband for everything, despite being in her 40s, and, allegedly, successful. None of the characters behave in a way that's appropriate for their age or level of self-awarness. The male characters are so exaggeratedly villainous that it's almost laughable—nobody acts or talks like that.

The plot is filled with clichés and is very predictable, lacking any real motivation or depth. Overall, it was a disappointing read. While the narrator does a decent job, especially when the speed is increased, her portrayal of the male characters is poor, which only amplified their absurdity.
