I liked the title of this book, interpreting it as a tongue in cheek take on the usual "secrets for (happy) marriage" books that are out there - search for those words on Amazon and this is the only novel that comes up, among a sea of self-help books for better partnerships. Based on the title, I was expecting something along the lines of ''Desperate Housewives'' - witty, funny, a bit far fetched at times, but generally a light hearted look at married life.
