This collection kind of falls in the middle for me. Out of the 18 essays, only about four really resonated or felt relatable. The essays cover themes like parenting, motherhood, marriage, and married life, specifically being married to a celebrity. However, I didn't know who her husband was, and quite honestly, the best essays were those that didn't focus on his fame.

The standout essays for me were those that explored her relationship with her mother, her personal experiences, and the dynamics of her marriage and interactions with her kids, all without the overshadowing presence of her husband's celebrity status. Overall, while some readers might connect more deeply with this author, I found that the majority of the essays stuck to their themes but felt like they could belong to a different, more generalized collection.

Essential essays:

"Love Means Nothing (In Tennis)"
"The Fixer"
"I've Tried Being Nice"
"On Being Nice"
"Empty Nest"
While this was an easy read, it was just okay, with a few standout essays.
