Funny, relatable fiction for anyone who thinks they're above the fray but still want to read all about it.--People
Heavenly hilarity for readers.--Good Housekeeping
A whip-smart, satirical romp through the minefield of modern motherhood, in the vein of Where'd You Go, Bernadette and Fleishman Is in Trouble
It takes a village...just not this one.
Annie Lewin is at the end of her rope. She's a mother of three young children, her workaholic husband is never around, and the vicious competition for spots in New York City's kindergartens is heating up. An advice-columnist for a parenting website, Annie can't help but judge the insanity of it all--even as she finds herself going to impossible lengths to secure the best spot for her own son.
As Annie comes to terms with the infinitesimal odds of success, she is pushed to the brink. Of course, this newly raw and unhinged version of Annie is great for her advice column: the more she spins out, the more clicks and comments she gets.
But when she commits a ghastly social faux pas that goes viral, she's forced to confront the question: is she really any better than the cutthroat parents she always judged?
