Could have been a blog post.

I have read other reviews that suggest this book could have been summed up in one blog post, and that it feels like the author is just adding padding in order to hit a word count. It’s exactly like that - there is so much repetition. I find it hard to believe this book was professionally edited.

This is a book for parents who have never ventured outside the house with a child; have never caught public transport, visited the public library or museum, never read a book out loud to their child, have never been on a hike or camping trip with kids. For the rest of us, this book is preaching to the converted and not a good use of your time.

The narrator needs urgent voice lessons - she has so much vocal tension it hurts my throat to listen to her. At the end of every (EVERY) sentence there is a downward inflection so extreme that pitch disappears and becomes a croak - not just jarring but very difficult to understood what is being said. I tried different speeds to try and make it more bearable but nothing helped.

Returning this one.
