Great idea but no in the hands of Charla

Great idea - have sex everyday with your partner and then publish a diary. Unfortunately in the hands of Charla this good idea is reduced to producing an effect akin to reading about your parents having sex. You just don't want to know. The endless aside such as 'Hey thanks Mom!' or messages to friends become irritating and the constant Americanisms drove me mad. As for Brad he doesn't get a look in as the book is written from a single persective and is presented more like a loyal but boring labrador who is able to watch 3 sports channels simultaneously. For such a book theme it is odd that sex is hardly mentioned - in fact it is describes throughout as 'The Gift' and I finished the book feeling Brad's first response to decline the offer of daily sex was no bad idea. Somewhere in the middle I decided Brad's view might have been more interesting but by the end I wasn't convinced anything these two American bores could do would raise any interest at all.
