Customer Reviews

reflective but sluggish....

Overall, A LITLE BIT MARRIED is an engaging family drama that is more reflective than eventful. The writer displays sharp insight into human psychology and the dynamics of marriage and family. A lot of her humor is aimed at poking fun at the trappings of suburban life. Unfortunately, the plot unfolds at a sluggish pace. The premise-- that a woman gave up a promising acting career to raise a family in the suburbs, and in the midst of a marital crisis, has the chance to start over at age 38-is, by now familiar. Each member of the family is in the throes of a major life crisis, and the story is reminiscent of a number of recent tales of family dysfunction: AMERICAN BEAUTY being the most notable.

A Little Bit Married

Gail Parent is a fantastic writer. She always makes me laugh and my girlfriends and I fly through her books. There are several pages in the book you'll want to 'mark' to re-read to your friends/husband/boyfriend. Very good read!
