Summary of this Book...
Book Blurb: Preparing dinner for her husband’s colleagues, nervous, and listening to a woman complain about domestic slavery on the radio, Helen Robbins hits the bottle hard. For thirteen years she has lived a life of suburban predictability with Robert, bending to his boorish demands and allowing her once vital, independent spirit to retreat into the safety cage of mundane, dutiful routine. Over supper that evening she decides to throw off her role of the domestic angel and hit him where it hurts: she dares to criticize his driving
Riled by his wife’s comments over dinner an irate Robert sets out the next morning to prove himself and is killed in a freak accident. Helen’s life is about to transform.

I especially liked...
Helen Robbins has some delightful adventures that had me laughing out loud and reading excerpts to my mother.

Don't worry ladies, there's hope for us yet! If this mousy widow can find herself after years in a dreary marriage, we can too!
I didn't like...
This book starts off slowly with drawn-out descriptions and observations.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
I'm looking forward to reading the next book in this series, Housewife Up.
This Book made me feel...
Helen is a mostly relatable character. Even though there are times the plot is predictable, it's done in a way that lets me know I'm not the only housewife to have the same experience.
I recommend this Book because...
Overall, the hilarity and outrageousness outweighed the predictably boring parts of this book.
