jenthelibrarian 's review for:
A Reliable Wife
by Robert Goolrick
Reading this book was like baking a cake. . .
You get really excited to bake a cake and while you are making it you eat way too much of the batter. Then you wait and wait and wait while it bakes in the oven. It comes out smelling all good and those first few pieces are great. Then, of course, you can't finish the entire cake in one sitting so you let it sit for a few days. Each day later you come back to the cake and it's a little more soggy. Not like what you first baked. Once you finish the cake you just think to yourself about all those wasted calories. You could have made a salad instead. So while you enjoyed the general idea of baking a cake and would bake a cake again because every now and then you need a sweet treat, you need something with more substance to it than cake or else you might get sick.
That's how I felt about A Reliable Wife.
