Here are some of my thoughts:

The cover looks deceptively nice.
Page 1 emphasizes 'no' husband, associating that type of family as happy family, and both making the claim that she don't need no man.
Page 2 brings up some facts about the husband, and then dismisses the consideration of him, because that's as much scorn as the author could get away with it being a kid's book, and while maintaining passive aggressive state towards him. She basically says, look here's the guy, who's bad, but let's forget he exists because he's worth less than nothing.
Then we see Mrs Vole working. That's it. She just goes to work. And comes back after.
One child brings up an idea of an assistant, and the female child associates assistant with a boyfriend-provider.
The 'sweet children' (aka the author herself) come up with 3 requirements for a man. a) Nice (beta bob) b) Has a fat wallet (beta bucks) and c) has football boots, which seems to be a filler for a third positive attribute that the author failed to nail down in a man. It could possibly mean that they wanted a man who was relatively fit and healthy and sporty.
Mrs Vole meets Mr Lamp, and thinks he's nice, but not quite Chad. The steps are her excuse. Steps would make her a lot fitter and healthier, but that would mean hard work for a month or two til she gained the muscle, which is apparently something she's familiar with. Hm.
Mr Field is certainly no Chad, but he has the bux. Her excuse is that he has lots of pigs - never mind that only one of his pigs has a health problem that needed attention.
Then she goes through some more guys, and at this point we are painfully aware of just how selective this fem is. She can literally choose any single one of them, at any time, or so she thinks.
Then Chad comes knocking. Surprise, surprise, it's the milk man. And Mrs Vole actually considers him, and is thinking of taking him, but apparently the fact that he's married is only slightly inconvenient enough a fact to dissuade her.
Having met Chad and had no luck with him, she decides to settle on the least bad choice. What can we say? At least she didn't marry Mr Field for the bucks alone.

Basically showing what females are all about... Except the working hard and long parts.

You got money? You handsome? If not, fuck off.

I don’t blame the author, I blame the people buying this garbage.

That is repulsive.

I feel like the author put some passive-aggressive red pills in there "a nice wallet" lol

I assumed the ending would show an ATM, and I was not disappointed.
