I Don't Know How She Does It: The Life of Kate Reddy, Working Mother
reviewed on


I just kept wanting her to quit her job and spend some times with her kids. I didn't understand why she had them if she had no interest in being around them. It was just really hard to have any empathy for this main character. I aso felt like gee, I have my own to-do lists, and everyday life stresses, why do I want to spend 400 pages reading about someone else's? I did like the author's writing and humor, but this subject matter was like watching paint peel.

Also it was really heavy with the British references. I understood some, but others went right over my head.
