Ugh. Just ugh.
I watch the TLC show 'Sister Wives' on occasion (when there isn't a conflict with it being on at the same time as True Blood and/or Homeland), so I already had a basis of what this book would be about before I picked it up from the library.
While it's a very quick read, I found that I could only stomach little chunks of it at a time. I felt like it was insulting my intelligence. I don't know if it's because the ghost writer that they had wrote at what felt like a 5th grade level or if the editor fell asleep on the job or what, but this book, much like the show itself, glossed over way too much.
The one takeaway I did have was an improved opinion of Janelle. Prior to reading this book she was sort of the wallflower wife in my eyes. Now, I wish they would spotlight her more. She's absolutely fascinating.
