Query: Skip this book....

I am floored by the good reviews here. The idea behind the book is good, but the book itself is tedious and hair-pulling bad. I was so disappointed, I can't tell you. The protagonist, Birdie, is incapable of dealing with any issues at all, from working, to her ex-husband, to her children. I mean it's hard to imagine anyone being able to relate to her.I certainly didn't mind the absurd plot; that was part of the fun, but Birdie was just singularly incapable of any rational, intelligent behavior. A better writer would have had more fun with the character, but this author created someone so inutterably unlikeable that you just simply could not.Do yourself a favor and do not buy this book, do not read this book, don't even think about this book. Ugh!
