Review: First person perspective is annoying.
Rating: 2 out of 5

I should have recognized the weakness in this book when the husband - who had been unconscious for quite a while - was released from the hospital at 3am. Then the wife leaves him alone for several hours - going to the office on Sunday to do some work - but leaves her laptop home. He gets hold of the laptop, which is not password protected and "accidentally" forwards childhood pictures of the wife to the world. Why does he have these childhood pictures? The mother-in-law somehow thought seeing childhood pictures of the wife would help the husband remember... Not pictures of his life, pictures of hers, as a child. Add in the very annoying first person perspective and it's just too much to take. I did not finish this book - I never found any of the humor lauded by other reviewers, and the events were just too disjointed for me to enjoy the tale.
