Mom Jeans and Other Mistakes

“The kind of book that's destined to be passed from friend to friend."—PopSugar

Two best friends say "I do" to living together, for better or worse, in this bold women's fiction novel from Alexa Martin.

Jude Andrews is famous. Well, at least on Instagram. Her brand is clean eating, good vibes, Pilates, and casually looking like a sun-kissed goddess. In real life, however, she’s a total disaster. She has a strained relationship with her fame-hungry mom and her latest bad decision emptied out her entire savings account.

Lauren Turner had a plan: graduate medical school and become the top surgeon in the country. But when she became unexpectedly pregnant, those plans changed. And when her fiancé left her, they changed again. Now navigating the new world of coparenting, mom groups, and dating, she decides to launch a mommy podcast with all the advice she wishes someone had given her.

Jude and Lauren don't have much in common, but maybe that's why they've been best friends since the third grade. Through ups and downs, they've been by each other's sides. But now? They’re broke, single, and do the only thing that makes sense—move in together, just like they talked about when they were teenagers. Except when they were younger, the plan didn't include a five-year-old daughter and more baggage than their new townhouse can hold.

My Favorite Alexa Martin Book So Far!

Such a beautiful story of relationships between women AND a little romance to boot! I loved this story!!!! Thank you, Alexa!

I love Alexa’s books!

I found Alexa years ago because of her football themed books (I’m obsessed with those and hope there are more or more sports related books coming in the future) and was thrilled to see something new from her.

Great story about empowerment & friendship

This was a fun book about real life and the story is told an engaging unbelievable way. I feel like I could be friends with these ladies!

I LOVED THIS!

I loved how real and open this book was. I recommend this book for anyone looking for a fresh story about unlikely friends. This was my first audiobook and I don’t think I’ll ever go back!!

Alexa Martin never Disappoints

I didn’t want this book to end! Friendship-family-mom stuff- love-drama-life. It’s all here.

OMG just what I needed!

Alexa Martin does it again! Omg! I love this book was so good! I was done listening in a day! The characters and story line grab your attention from start to finish! Such a great book and lots to unpack during a book club session.

Alexa Martin

I love all your books and you also have great narrators! Hurry with the next book please.

performance voice

At first, the voice of Jude was very annoying... but I kept listening & it did seem to "fit" the character. Nice story. Everyone needs that "person" in their life.

Too Predictable

I liked all of Alexa Martin's other books, but this one was just meh to me. I'm not sure if it was the predictable storyline, the uninspired readers or a combination. I'm sure some folks love this book, it just wasn't my taste.
