Crappy husband and ditzy wife
583268
Ok I have not finished this book so as far as stars it's not really fair but there are two things that stand out already that drive me crazy. Namely Gabby! I would number one divorce that you know what of a husband! She wanted a third child so badly and it's not even open to discussion? Excuse me? And then the icing on the cake when she's sobbing when she finds out Claire is pregnant Elliott all of a sudden is all apologies? Of course he is now that there's nothing that can be done about it! Men pull that crap all the time. And in all fairness Gabby is a ditz. I probably would be friends wit Triah. I can't stand moms who don't have their time organized and ducks in a row. Can't wait to see what happens with Matt.

Such a possessive husband makes for a horrible story. Any woman who would put up with such behavior is asking for a world of hurt.

How am I suppose to like so one so stupid.  She is so dam stupid,every single time she believes the women.  I mean seriously how many times does it take for you to learn.  The women was mean,lied and hit on your husband and after all that she continues to help and believe her.

The nicest thing I could say about rose is that I hate her.  What every one did to her,she forgave them.  But the stupidest is forgive all the b.s her husband did.  Which is why I hate him to.  Nobody in this book can see what is right in front of them but trust lies.

Her loving husband just as dumb as her.  I'm not going to waste more of my time with him because I already gave more than her deserves.

The book was free but dead God some one should pay me for the time I wasted.

Wish there was a zero star rating. This movie started with our heroine being told she was unfulfilled, then being told to lie, then worsened from there. Instead of marriage counseling to work toward her husband understanding her unrest, she walks out on him and the kids, lies to get a job but then the show later says that's ok because then she's being considered for a promotion by the woman who knew she lied, breaks her family further apart by having her daughter come to live with her, has an affair, is upset with him, is really upset when her husband is now doing the same. I hated the ending, nothing was resolved, really, and her actions seemed sanctioned. These people needed God, plain and simple,  for any real changes to be made.

This should be "Diary of a Selfish Spoiled Housewife".  Alcohol or no, this person has shown that she can be quite mean to her husband, family members and friends, yet whiny when they treat her as anything but the Queen Bee she thinks she is.  She complains about how abusive her mother is, yet leaves her little son with her mother so she herself can go off with her husband on his business trip to Budapest.  If it were that bad, why didn't she just stay home with her children?  Then she cannot keep from commenting on how much alcohol the people in Budapest drink.  Well, people drink a lot in the USA too, hasn't she noticed that?  She does drone on a lot telling us about her vacation in Budapest, including her harrowing experience on... a fast escalator!  Plus, other women and children are on the escalator with her and they don't fall or seem to be a bit fazed!  Really, why waste the reader's time with this drivel?  The most disturbing thing is her air of superiority among other addicts as though she really is better than they.  The book started out well, but soon became superficial as the author started to show her personality, like sulking over the fact that her husband never knew what to get her for Christmas, her father is terminally ill and her children have the problems that ALL children have like illness, trouble in school and issues with friends.  (And she wonders why her husband does not speak to her for days.)  Don't waste your time on this superficial and childish story.  Should you want good books, read "Girl Walks Out of a Bar" and "Drinking: A Love Story".

ughglad that's over. These two have no business being married. They bugged the crap out of me in this book. The insecurities Julia has is unbelievable because the way Ryan is towards her shows only his deep love for her. They were so pathetic how they couldn't be apart while he's doing his residency. Give me a break. At least he's home every night. He's working 12-18 hour days, big deal. Guess I'm a bit cynical being married to a Navy guy that is gone months at a time. The fact that Jane was able to force these two into a separation for the minuscule event that took place is the reason they shouldn't even be married. The lack of trust in spite of their "love" they have for each other is ridiculous. I'm just glad to be done with this series and looking back, it was a huge waste of time. For the story itself, I just didn't care for it. I have no qualms towards the author and her writing ability, just the story line itself was too wearing on me.

Annoying leading lady...She needed to have at least a  shred of self respect. To fall into bed with a man calling you the worst names is a bit much to stomach as a reader. She can't love him so much more than she respected herself. Makes the lead character seem ridiculous and someone with no self esteem-- not very appealing. He also came across as a misogynistic pig.

My wife just got done watching this flick and if you want a movie about how weak and feeble minded woman can be portrayed then this flick is for you. Myself I found it disgusting and sick. The script makes the actors do the most wrong and stupid things that allow this psycho young guy to kill, torture and do what ever he please's with many common sense actions which could avert all of it. This movie actually pissed me off at how badly it portrayed woman. Ultimately J LO perseveres despite herself it's to bad her best friend (script victim) got her throat slit by this guy. J Lo does find a unintended use for a small block Chevy engine. I hate these kind of movie's and I was actually reading while she watched and still it annoyed the crap out of me.

Dan just goes along making decisions, MAJOR decisions, without consulting his wife. Leslie, naturally, resents this. They have issues in their marriage that need working on, and that's one of the reasons why they move from the city to a farm. Leslie is NOT a farmer's wife. Dan and his family just DON'T get that. Wilma doesn't like her from the minute she set eyes on her. Gloria is just like Wilma. Everyone is condescending towards Leslie. I liked Kathy, at first, but when she suggested that Leslie go to church because it's a place of reconciliation and that's a place to start to reconcile with Dan's family, she angered me. Leslie should WANT to go on her own, not because it might heal the rift between her and Dan's family.

She doesn't necessarily believe in God, but she doesn't totally disbelieve, either. It's amazing how her son getting deathly ill magically brings her to God and also helps their marriage.

It was too.....much. Poor Leslie. I really felt for her.

Do not waste your money on this book. It is poorly written and all over the place. It is obvious that she still has NO idea what she and her husband both did and does not take ANY accountability. I watched the show from day one and lost a lot of respect for her but thought I would give her a chance by reading this, seriously wishing I that I hadn't. And basically everything that she is saying on People and talk shows is what the whole book is, so just read and watch those. Save your money!

Watched this with my hubby and we were both very disappointed.  The majority of funny scenes were in the previews, so nothing new to laugh at and there was a lot of unnecessary crudeness/sexuality that was disgusting.  Don't waste your time on this one!

I hated this book.  Stealth was a piece of crap, nothing but a manwh*re.  I don't want to read about a man who is separated from his wife and thinks that gives him a reason to cheat with a club wh*re. He was only separated, not divorced. Left his wife and 3 when she was pregnant and never saw the baby until it was 4 month old. Goes back to wife because he suddenly realizes she is his true love  after weeks of banging Skye and sleeps with Hannah a day after sleeping with Skye. Gross!  He justifies it by saying they were separated so it wasn't cheating with Skye. Hannah never does know he was sleeping with Skye while undercover. The idea was bad enough but there was so much descriptive sex with the OW. Not my idea of a H. All I can say is he got what he deserved.

THIS MOVIE IS ABOUT A WOMAN WHO WANTS TO LEAVE HER HUSBAND.  HER HUSBAND THINKS IT BECAUSE OF ANOTHER MAN.  WHEN SHE TELLS HIM SHE WANTS TO LEAVE HIM, HE STARTS TRIPPIN HARD.  (SEE THE MOVIE TO SEE WHAT I MEAN).  HER HUSBAND IS VERY DRAMATIC.  I WOULD NOT WANT A MAN WHO LOVES ME THAT MUCH TO WHEN I TELL HIM ITS OVER AND IM LEAVING, HE CANT TAKE IT.  TO ME THIS MOVIE WAS DUMB.  I WOULD NOT RECOMMENED ANYONE PAY THERE MONEY TO SEE THIS.  SEE IT FOR FREE.

This book was interesting in its concept and to some extent its execution. The hardest part for me to get through while reading this novel was the exasperation with the constant stupidity of the main character. I felt that the author went too far in making her a tragic persona and what she really turned into for me was a driveling and pathetic woman pining for her cheating husband!

Funny? Hardly. Entertaining? Not in the slightest. Worth a dollar? Hahaha, no.

Abusing the abuser is never justified - you have just sunk to their level. The stunts, tricks and vengeful acts depicted were often malicious (giving drugs to Neil, her husband, rinsing wash cloth in caustic soda), usually petty, and rarely funny. Sarah, her aunt May, Darren and Matthew are often trying to hold their laughter in as they watch the husband get tangled in one of their pranks, or when they are recounting to each other what they have done tohim. It reminded me of the laugh tracks on TV shows that tell you when to laugh just in case you didn't realise a joke had been made.

Sarah complains about her husband, complains about her child, complains about her in-laws and instead of just leaving and writing them off, she plans her revenge. Seriously, if your child is so snotty nosed that you can't stand her, why complain that you can't leave because your husband has threatened to sue for full custody? Why care about the pre-nup? You've ruined him to the point where there is nothing for you to gain except the cheap thrill of torturing him. How is Sarah any better than her husband?

Yes, I understand that this is just a book and fiction no less, but it is so juvenille, petty and poorly written that reading it was an aggravating experience. Some things the author attributes to taking the pill (with which she is secretly dosing Neil): vacuuming, peeing sitting down, craving chocolate. Seriously?  I stopped half way through and will never read anything by this author again.

No where near as good as Daniels Bride.
Once again we have the trope of a stubborn heroine who's mule headedness crosses over into reckless stupidity and a complete lack of common sense, it's misogynist and insulting.

I can't say I am a fan of this couple's writing style, or the way the wife whines all the time and the husband takes it and then does everything around the house and "farm". But to come from LA and complete yuppiness to the ozarks and dead dogs being run over by their real estate agent, and then to STAY, I am inclined to think that whatever they have going for them works for them and who am I to throw stones? That being said I skimmed this book, I did not read anything except for the husband's scattered anecdotal stories on how his wife would sit in the house and he would go risk his life to accomplish a fairly simple task for seasoned country dwellers. Not something I would recommend spending money on, but if it's in the $1 bin then hey pick it up for the husband's stories, they at least are entertaining unlike the wife's attitude throughout the book.
