Every once in a while I slog through a book, despite the fact that I'm not enjoying it, either because it was recommended by someone I respect or there is a glimmer of promise somewhere in the text. This was one of those books that paid off in the last few chapters. Initially, the voice frustrated me and the content rubbed a little too close to the bone. After surviving parenting my children through their challenging years, it was painful to listen to another mother struggle through her day, equally monotonous and filled with fits of fury. The author's voice was a bombastic shock to my nervous system. And yet there enough regular spots of humor that caught me off-guard to keep me listening. It wasn't until the end that I finally understood why the book came to me so highly recommended (I need to have words with that friend, pronto). Suffice it to say that the story redeemed itself and offered just the right amount of insight into this hamster wheel we tread as adults.
