1.5 stars. What to say about this book....I only finished it because: a) I invested too much time thinking I would like it to give up, and b) I RARELY do not finish a book. Disappointed in it. A 40 something wife/mother with a 'tween son and a somewhat husband (they're kinda separated but still cohabiting due to lack of funds to legally separate). She wrote a successful children's book and then hit writer's block. Her husband suffers from extreme anxiety and is under employed working as a "snack consultant". Finances are an issue. So to ease HER anxiety she begins wearing the family dog in a baby sling to calm herself. Their experiences and her take on life were weird and tiring to listen to. Not for me.
