Toddlers, Julia remembered hearing someone say, were like big tyrants of tiny countries. Demanding, insatiably needy, and all ego and id, her son was still by far the best boss she'd ever had.
I actually read this book about a month ago. Any working mother can easily relate to the story. It's funny and insightful in relaying the insecurities of working parents, as well as the love/hate that goes on in a marriage during stressful times.
Didnt we have this book in book club already? I remember getting from the library because it sounded interesting and then returning it because i hated the characters. Their backgrounds and motivations seemed silly.
I didn't get to read the first installment, but this book really is not doing anything for me. To me kinda dull and draggy. But then it may be because of the style of writing I prefer.
After reading the installments for this novel from the book club, I was really looking forward to reading the rest of it. Unfortunately, after finishing it, I was a little disappointed. I didn't really like the main character. But, there were some funny parts.
