Secret Recipes for the Modern Wife (Review and Giveaway)

I recently received a copy of Nava Atlas's Secret Recipes for the Modern Wife. It didn't take me too many pages to realize that this isn't exactly my type of book...

While I've lived through my mom divorcing and I understand the bitterness that can stem from relationships gone awry, I just don't feel this way about my life, my marriage, or my man. I'm happily married and while I know much of the context of this book was meant to be humorous, I just found it to be sad. Maybe I just don't have the right sense of humor.

Mike and I were downstairs (he was on his computer, and I was on the couch) when I was reading this book. I found myself reading passages aloud to him and saying, "is this what normal married women feel like?" in wonder.

I guess I just picked well or I'm lucky... but this book really wasn't meant for me.

That said, I think it would be a great gift for a woman who is having relationship problems or going through a divorce to add some humor to an already dreary situation.

I have two copies of Secret Recipes for the Modern Wifebook to giveaway to two lucky readers. All you need to do is leave a comment on this post to win.
