Review: One of the few times I couldn't finish a book

It is extremely rare for me not to finish a book once I've started it, even if I don't like it.  But, I just could not finish this.  This book had great promise, and the main character but was likeable, but three chapters in and she'd had more strange embarrassing things happen to her than would typically happen in an entire book.  I really wanted to like this book, but I became so frustrated with one thing after another happening to this woman, I just couldn't bring myself to keep reading.  With any work of fiction, a reader has to suspend reality, but this was just too much.  I think the author was going for a zany romantic comedy, but what it came off as was a woman who was mortified at every turn by her own actions, her children, and her "helpful" friends.  I would not recommend this book.
