OK. I don't usually read much non fiction/biographies/memoirs. I so wanted to like this one because I really like to watch Ainsley on Fox & Friends so when I saw it at the library I snapped it up.
I can't pinpoint exactly what bothered me about this book, ok, yes I can....& just my opinion y'all, I don't doubt her faith or love for her family/friends either but the book just made her seem sooo career oriented. There wasn't a lot about her first marriage but I wasn't surprised when I read later on in the book that they divorced. I mean all she did was work, talk about work, pray for job promotions and travel all over the country chasing her job. That is real dedication but good grief there was so little writing about spending time with her husband, his life/faith/hopes/dreams....like ships passing in the night. She does remarry & has a child but wants to cut her few weeks maternity leave short because she is in the running for the anchor on Fox & Friends. Lord, girl, take a breath!
Anyway, I still like her, she seems like a really nice person.
