I wanted to read another book written by Dousková.
Intriguing characters. My favourite is Alice's mother-in-law. She's independent, knows what she wants, isn't scared to express her opinion and has good intentions.
What's it like being on maternity leave? Everyday struggles and a bit more are what you'll find in this book.
Page 98 – 99, stupid fish.
„(...) Maximálně můžete holkám pořídit rybičky, holoubkové, ty jsou sice taky na hovno, ale aspoň jsou tichý a dekorativní, ale radši vůbec nic. Radši se starejte vo sebe. Přece se nebudete starat vo ňáký vylízaný rybičky. To je taky nápad! Rybičky! Každej se musí starat hlavně sám o sebe. Taková je doba. To se nedá nic dělat.“
I didn't expect the end. Good ending.
I could get around without reading this book, but there were some gripping observations.
