Take this book for what it is—a dark satire—and go with the book's main premise—being a mom and a wife is an exhausting, thankless job—and you will have one fun ride of a book. If you don't fall in the book's targeted demographics, if you are not, say, a tired mother or a weary stay-at-home wife, you may put the book down in exasperation. Though if you are, say, child of a tired mother or, say, husband of a weary stay-at-home wife, know that this book may lead to a full-fledged household rebellion and insurrection if it is accidentally picked up by the wrong person. You have been warned.
