Stepford Husbands. Not bad. It felt like very little actually happened.

Note: I don’t have kids so this probably didn’t hit me as hard, but still Very torn on this one because it was oh so real feeling and I could see lots of women being too infuriated to read it or enjoy it. I still think men and women could benefit from reading this one - lots of good discussions on invisible work in the home.

This was so predictable. I read ahead to the final chapter to see how it ends and I rolled my eyes so hard. I seriously do not care about this world, the problems the characters are facing, or how they go about solving them. I think the prose was well done though. I'd say this just wasn't for me. I think I will put my copy in the little free library.
