I tried to get into this book as I wanted a light read. I couldn't get past the first few chapters. The dialog and actions the author had for just-over-1-year-old and a kindergarden-age child were so completely unbelievable, I couldn't focus. That and the main character was painted as so completely and broadly ridiculously inept (seriously, who goes to a new job at a NYC power magazine dressed in the way the author described?) that I couldn't suspend belief long enough to keep reading. After trying to skim a few more chapters I decided a conversation with my significant other was a better way to spend a car ride and gave up on the book.
