It wasn't what I expected it to be but it was a good and mostly easy read. I didn't think it was an actual diary which is what it is... at some points it's like "I get it, you don't drink and you're so happy you don't now. Your life is great now and your friends lives are shit". It did put an interesting prospective on the "perfect housewife" image. Every once and awhile I wish I could be one of those women that just drive their kids back and forth to some sports practice; partake in book clubs and lavish couples nights out. After reading this book I realized these bitches are drunk half of their day and hung over the other half. It made me laugh out loud quite a few times because this mom spoke the truth. I do wonder though, is she till sober? She only had intentions on being sober for a certain period of time. At the end of the book she was four and a half years sober...
