Summary of this Book... | ||
Book 5 in the Housewife series takes place a few weeks after Helen's drive-thru Elvis wedding ceremony. The reality of it crashes over her like a python dropping out of a tree- that she would now wake up every morning next to snoring rhinoceros Rick, a man with all the subtleties of a brick coming through your living room window. Feeling out of place in Rick's home and longing for her own apartment, she attempts to reinvent herself as a modern Superwife by taking advice from Leoni. Meanwhile, Leoni is trying to find a foolproof way of getting rid of her husband, Marcus, Julia is suffering with postpartum depression, and Sara is running Julia's business like Atilla the Hun. | ||

Further Comments... | ||
The authors writing style drastically changed throughout this series. While that's not exactly a bad thing, it also changed the personality of her characters. Which may not have been a real big issue if the series were stretched out over a longer period of time. Instead, the relatable lighthearted cast became irrational and judgmental in what is supposed to be a short period of time. What started out as a witty chronical of a newly widowed woman morphed into a three ring circus of slapstick situations. I could have enjoyed each book on it's own, but reading them as a series left me disappointed. | ||
