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.

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