Book Review: I don't Know How She does it

I have finally finished the book "I don't know how she does it" and I have to say it took me over three weeks to finish. Not because it was too long, but because it is an OK read. Not an AMAZING page turner for sure. I have read many more interesting books so why this one per say was turned into a movie is beyond me. Especially since it was published over 11 years ago.

The books is about Katherine Reddy, a fierce career woman who is trying to balance her role as a wife, a mother, and a city worker all at once and would go to any length to do so. Things are not helped when an oversea's affair starts brewing too.

What I didn't like about the book is two things: The way the book ending was reached because of a spur of the moment decision that doesn't really go with the warrior persona of Katherine. Plus, the way the affair was going and suddenly poof. There was no mention of the lover until maybe the last pages of the book. Where did that story line go?

Anyways it is being turned into a movie starring Sarah Jessica Parker. I have seen the trailer and I have a distinct feeling that this is one of the rare cases when the movie is actually better than the book.
