" Wanted to like this novel and to be able to recommend as a lighter read for book club, but alas this will not do. Vivi is a smart reporter in NYC until she gets shot on a story. Humiliated as her shooting hits the net and after learning she is being replaced at work, she quits her job. She decides to return home to a sister in the South whom she no longer knows. And there she sees the lives of suburban minivan moms and writes up snotty articles making fun of their lifestyles. So, she is living in her sisters house--free, doesn't spend any time "working", she gets food prepared for her nightly and her room is cleaned, and she's pregnant (but reluctant to tell baby daddy)...I just never had empathy for Vivi, she could do so much more than be a selfish obtuse mooch.
