“Chapters 9 & 10: Pages 167-190”

This week Meri and Janelle tackle “family” in their own signature styles. Meri frames herself as the no-nonsense disciplinarian (with some Kate Gosselin energy and couches that could survive the apocalypse), while also spiraling into empty-nest dread and grocery-shopping laments. Janelle on the other hand barely bothers to engage - offering a few surface-level thoughts on parenting and finances that feel more like first-draft filler than heartfelt reflection.

“Chapter 8: Pages 152-166”

Robyn is just a broke, single mom with nothing to give ya until TLC conveniently swoops in to bankroll the dream wedding she couldn’t afford. Her hardships include multiple delayed wedding timelines, endless excuses, and a suspiciously long honeymoon that somehow solved nothing. Along the way, she leans on her favorite defense: that the other wives just don’t understand her; all while slipping into victimhood so effortlessly it almost feels rehearsed. This chapter showcases what Robyn does best: rewriting the story until she’s both the underdog and the star.

“Chapter 7: Pages 136-151”

Christine’s chapter is part honeymoon; part hostage situation. Between Kody’s selective hearing, Meri’s simmering tension, and a Nauvoo trip from hell - she’s juggling way too much while trying to keep the peace. After Robyn joins the family, Christine spends the rest of the chapter apologizing for feelings she’s completely entitled to have. Joseph Smith, take the wheel.
