"I can't remember the last time a book made me this angry. I rooted passionately for the couple, Joanna and David, to end their miserable marriage and found myself utterly disgusted with both of them (for this reason it gets two and not one stars, because, hey, it got me feeling). Essentially, after years of submissive marriage to her tempermental, selfish, immature 'artiste' husband, Joanna has finally had it (tho so many times she almost left him and didn't such that when she finaly does I'm like, that's it, because of that argument? How anticlimactic - you had so many better reasons for the last twenty years!) and David finds her diary and discovers who his wife has been this whole time and adds his own stupid commentary. By the end of the work what you have is a marriage that makes no sense and the two saddest people to ever come across in literature , barring perhaps A Doll's House, and I wanted to slap them both very hard."
"It was ok. I would have felt better if the premise had not been two parents sharing these thoughts with their daughter. At any age, children don't need, and can be damaged by, this much information about their parents. Definitely an emotional book."
