Although the book does not seem to want to endeavor into discovering any eternal thuths, it is still such a fun read, and I have enjoyed Cheek's writing a lot, and her great sense of humor. She plays with serious issues and does not take them seriously at all. The country characters are partly caricatured through the main characters view and offer a truly funny set, as opposed to the goings on in the city: delicious and highly entertaining. ( )

I didn't get this book. Not at all. It starts with the main character being a feminist, then turning into super mom and wife, then getting divorced and finally thinking of herself and not just the children and she moves to the country and tries to concentrate on the important things in life, things that give her joy, wants to be selfish for once in her life. And I like it. And then the end messes it all up again, because a woman obviously cannot be happy unless there's a man at her side.
