About
In the age of blogs and omnipresent social media, where is the line between laudable, cathartic honesty and oversharing?

Maggie Kelly started her personal blog for one reason: to prevent her head from exploding with frustration. She is, frankly, tired of at-home motherhood and weary of her husband's frequent absences due to his workaholic ways. She feels like a hostage to marriage and maternity. So when a friend suggests that she create an anonymous blog where she can complain to her heart's content and not have to hold anything back, "Maggie Has Had It" was born.

After her controversial, raw and profane blog posts draw thousands of online readers, Maggie's blogging identity is inadvertently revealed. Her husband is horrified to learn that she has written, in great detail, about his shortcomings, mortifyingly, between the sheets. To make matters worse, it is his mother who tells him about his online humiliation.
