The Actor & the Housewife: Open Thread

I know not many of you have had a chance to read it yet, but I've had a couple of requests for discussion of this book, so I'll go ahead and open a post for it now. Chime in when you can!

WARNING: There will very likely be spoilers in the comments below, since it's difficult to discuss any book without discussing its plot. That's why I'd rather do most of my book-talking in the comments rather than in a post.
