Review: Not sorry I read it, but probably wouldn't recommend it

I nearly stopped reading this book 2-3 times but I'm glad I finished it. It took me at least half the book before I actually liked the character. In the first half she was trying too hard to be funny and frankly, I never did figure out who all her kids were. In the first half, she's not confident and she's annoying. Although I was bothered by her reaction to the flirtations from her daughter's teacher, I also know that sort of "emotional affair" is very common and the portrayal seemed realistic. I think it's a topic that's not often addressed in "chick lit", but I think it should be. As the book progresses she regains her confidence and acts like a grown up instead of a pinhead.Overall, it was an ok book, but with so many really good books out there, I don't think I'd recommend this one to my friends. I might read more by this author, though.
