Unfortunately, it goes downhill about midway through the book. The humor disappears and the book becomes a clout of nauseating sentimentality. Oh, don't take that the wrong way, the stories were sweet and wonderful to read...for awhile. It just become very repetitive, as it felt like everyone was saying essentially the same thing and reading it over and over in 15-page durations quickly grew tedious for me.
Ironically, the author I liked the least is the editor of the book. Both of her stories were terribly uninteresting, the first of which was a thin guise for what comes off as a platform for her apparent narcissistic feminist agenda. She celebrates her husband's being a stay-at-home dad by saying that she does the job better and she's happy when he has a hard time of things. I believe, in my country at least, the stay-at-home dad is something that will become increasingly common as the job market continues to lean in favor women, and I think this is a pretty awesome thing. There are few things about my country that inspires pride in me, but this is one of them. It's unfortunate to see someone being vindictive and developing a superior attitude like this. It's just icky, horrible, and terribly discouraging. ( )
