If you want a sarcastic, (read: mean spirited) look behind the scenes of a jaded military wife that seems to dislike the military, then look no further, for you have found the motherlode.The pessimistic tone of this book is very demoralizing, and I can only hope it isn't being sold in your PX, for surely it would send even the toughest of military wives running for the nearest divorce lawyer.Hilary Martin does the impossible with this book, with her sad attempts at humor dragging the tone of the book even further down into the depths of cranky regret.I am ashamed of this book, and only hope that the outlooks of other mil. wives are more upbeat.Don't buy it. I promise you will regret it.Refunds should be offered on this to every unsuspecting customer that had the utter misfortune to actually pay for it.(note: I only gave it one star because the Amazon system demands a rating and doesn't have a "negative star rating")
