NB: This is an Advanced Reader's Copy, not a hardcover.
Pretty funny, although some of her stories fell flat, IMO. Also, the real feelings of someone with a severely premature baby didn't really get across. A book that managed to combine those feelings of sheer panic (and, at the same time, hope and love) with the absurdity of day-to-day living in a strange country would have been heartbreaking indeed. As it is, this book is a nice detraction, but not all that helpful to someone who might be in a similar situation. I guess the title already gives it away; it's so silly that it annoyed me more every time I picked up the book.
