If It Was Easy, They'd Call the Whole Damn Thing a Honeymoon: Living with and Loving the TV-Addicted, Sex-Obsessed, Not-So-Handy Man You Married.

Laugh out loud funny.  Jenna McCarthy writes this memoir in such an easy breezy way that you would swear you were sitting around with your girlfriends listening to them bitch and moan about their husbands.  You are guaranteed to smile at the description of how utterly useless and needy her husband becomes at the first sign of a cold or the classic in the car fight where you yell for him to pull over...and then he actually does. As an added bonus there are these sections called "At least I'm not married to him".  See Jenna is apparently a pretty avid blogger and had asked her followers to share with her the most annoying thing their husbands (whom they love dearly) does that drives them insane.  These tiny stories within the stories are always funny, often relatable and more often then not will make you appreciate that your hubby/significant does not do and what women are willing to endure in the  name of love.  Jenna does not come off as angel in this book by any means, she points out a lot of the crazy annoying things she does and really owns that she talks to much even though this clearly the thing she does that drives her hubby bananas.  It's a light read, it's a funny read and it's a book you'll definitely end up recommending to your friend or sister...if for no other reason to chat about over a big glass of wine (or vodka).

 

Funny side note: I read a review for this book that explained how the reader shouldn't be turned off by the author and how she's not the brainless bimbo blonde we all remember from MTV's "Singled Out".  I skimmed the rest of the review which did the book justice by highlighting it's funny take and convinced me I should in fact make the effort to read it.  At about the second chapter I noticed that this in fact sounded nothing like the life of a Playboy model/T.V host mainly because it's not.  As in actually not the same person - the author - Jenna - the playmate Jenny.  So egg on my face but still read on and laugh often.
