Review: A quick read, some funny moments

Yes, there are some humorous incidents (being soaked on a water ride at Disney while wearing see-through clothes, for instance) but there are a few too many cringe-worthy moments (is having pubic lice really supposed to be funny?) for my taste.  This snarky, smart-mouthed look at life with family and in-laws is a quick read, but not one I would really recommend.  The female characters are either unrealistically mean-spirited or far too self-deprecating, while the male characters are mostly oblivious or just overly self-involved.  The only semi-realistic character, perhaps, is pediatrician Bridget, yet she too has moments of going off the deep end.  I was looking for a light-hearted, funny novel and this one mostly missed the mark for me.
