Jo takes on an unrealistic amount of work and numerous labor intensive projects, complaining about all of it constantly, unable to finish anything without lots of help from family and friends. She whines a lot, more than the kids do, which adds nothing to the story and is just plain annoying. As for Martin, he may as well be the hired help for all the respect Jo allows him. Honestly, how many guys would just hang out for a couple of years waiting to see if his chosen lady might decide that he's worthy of relationship with her? That's what bothered me the most, I think, that Jo was so shallow she couldn't decide if she was interested in Martin or not, and that he simply hung out waiting for her favor.

Apart from Jo, there are two major problems with this book - narrative and style. Nothing actually happens in this book. There is no drama, development, character growth, events - nothing. The characters are the same at the end of the book as they are in the start, except some of them have had a baby (thanks to Jo - without her advice clearly the babies would have fallen out or vanished or something). The problem with that is without some sort of impetus propelling the narrative, what you are left with is, well, a laundry list of what each of the characters did in the ten months the book covers. Stylistically, that's how the books written - episodes recounted first hand by Jo as they happen to her.

Let's not answer all the questions or pair up all the characters, because in real life not all questions are answered and every life doesn't end with everyone married.'
