She gets it! I laughed out loud and read passages to my husband. I am a very part-time worker (no high heels or silk blouses) and I still found her experiences and truths about motherhood relevant and right. I think most moms will appreciate this book however they define themselves.

This is a quick, light read, but there are moments of deeper insight in with the humor.

Reading this feels like meeting your funniest friend for a cup of coffee.
