I've read a ton of the humorous type new parent guides. Some I love, some I didn't but Reid's book is a little different. This is not really a parenting guide. There are some parenting tips about things like traveling with a baby, but the focus of the book is about how to be a new mother. There are sections that talk about how to get dressed quickly and look okay, a realistic makeup routine so you don't look like a zombie, how to readjust your vision of yourself from pre-baby to post-baby, how to hold onto what you enjoy pre-baby and make it work post-baby. She genuinely loves her son and is genuinely happy in her life but does some pretty honest reflection of how she got there. I took it as a good sign that 20 pages into the book I looked up her blog and added it to my feedly list! Jordan comes off as more real than most books of this type do. This would be a great book for an expecting mother or even one with a newborn.
