Oh, this was so horrible. My husband and I read it together and the book just got worse and worse as it went on. At first there were a few chuckles, but then it just became a pain to read. "Do you want to read Wigfield tonight?" "Me neither". Yikes. Luckily this wasn't a career defining book for any of the writers.
