Tom Perrotta's 30-ish parents of young children are a varied and surprising bungh. There's Todd, the handsome stay-at-home dad, dubbed "The Prom King" by the moms at the playground, and his wife, Kathy, a documentary filmmaker envious of the connection Todd has forged with their toddler son. And there's Sarah, a lapsed feminist surprised to find she's become a typical wife in a traditional marriage, and her husband, Richard, who is becoming more and more involved with an Internet fantasy life than with his own wife and child.

After I have finished reading this book, it will be sent to a friend in Tokyo

Completely not what I was expecting...but very interesting. Wasn't too sure about the ending but I guess finishing a book is the saddest part. Sometimes you wish it would continue!

This book is on its way to umeshu! Hope you enjoy!

I really enjoyed this book right up until the end. It really made suburban life look dull and hopeless, but was comical in its portrayal (and touching at points as well). I am so happy my suburban life is nothing like theirs!
