Ugh, I'm giving this a two because the writing itself wasn't horrible. It was nicely done and there wasn't anything writing wise that you had to stop and wonder what the author meant.
But the plot was not very good at all. If you're into those silly stupid crime romance crazy books then this is the one for you.
The characters were for the most part just flat pieces that moved around a board for the fun of it, they made decisions on something huge without one thought if they could solve this problem another way.
The teenage daughter was an over the top dramatic teenager, worse then I have ever met before, a few things about her story line in this seemed like it was put in the story just to give it even more drama then it already possessed.
The main story about the mother and the husband was so overly dramatic as to make me put my head in my hands many times and I couldn't get over how much what she did about her husband leaving was the only thing she could think of to do. Like, ya, that is the ONLY solution this here problem you're having.
The romance between her and the guy that she meets at the beginning of the book seems like something to just get the main character into a makeover and then into bed.
The swears were almost not needed at all, they seemed forced but that may have been who was reading it because I listened to this on CD.
All in all it was pretty hilarious to listen to, annoying and way overly dramatic at times and I would not read this again.
If you need a laugh, try it, but keep in mind that you may be shaking your head at the stupid stuff most of the characters do in this book more than you are laughing at them.
