Query: Boring, Depressing

Maybe it has to do with the fact that I am not a mother but a 25 year old trying to get on her feet, but I did not find this book to have many redeeming qualities. The characters were stereotypical, predictable, and tiring. The only half-way memorable one is Becky. There is no plot besides "let's see how miserable we can make motherhood out to be." After reading this book, I am put off by the idea of becoming a mother. Like I said, maybe you have to be a mother to enjoy - that's the only reason I can come up with for other numerous rave reviews.
