Good premise, and clever writing, but it reads like what it is: a couple of amusing magazine articles that got a book deal and couldn't quite flesh it out. By the end it's pretty trite advice ("your relationship isn't going to stay perfect forever!" No kidding!) and would have been more interesting if she'd stayed consistent with the original concept, which is how to stand up for yourself in soul-sucking situations and not feel bad about it. There is a book to be written there, but this isn't it. ( )
