Helpful Score: 3
This was a wonderful book. More than chick lit, this was mommy lit with substance and a heart. I could completely relate to the main character, Lanie - I too have 3 boys close in age (mine are 8 and under) and it was eerie how much of Lanie's story paralleled my own life!
This story was real, and honest, and true to life. It wasn't candy-coated like so many chick lit/mommy lit books are. We don't all have pristine houses with matching furniture - we decorate using garage sales finds and thrift store treasures because we're living on a budget - just like Lanie. Our kids don't have a nanny and do embarrassing things, or aggravating things, or messy things - but we love them with all our hearts - just like Lanie. And our marriages aren't perfect, misunderstandings happen, and feelings get hurt - but we do everything we can to make things right and hope for the happy ending - just like Lanie. This story was REAL, and that's what made it so wonderful.
Just a great down-to-earth book, and an engrossing read. Highly recommended!
