A delightfully funny and entertaining story

Married middle-aged women with teens will absolutely relate to this book. I found it charming, relatable and engaging. I was equally outraged with the protagonist when she was fuming, happy when she was pleased with her actions, and laughing out loud at her antics and past recollections. I will be seeking out more from this author! The writing was a joy to read.

Honest

Very realistic vantage point of a mom, and the desire for more. The reader was fitted perfectly.

Don’t Bother.

Predictable storyline. You’ll enjoy it if you buy into the lies about what’s typical in marriage and family life.
