OK rapid thoughts:

-I liked this A LOT.
-But...The Whisper Network is still my Baker fave!
-This was so refreshingly relatable.
-Baker has this uncanny way of writing what we are all thinking and capturing the "realness" of a woman trying to do it all, probably because she does in her real life.
-Dear husbands everywhere: "helping out" with school lunches, bath time and school drop off for YOUR kid is not helping...its just what ya do, Dad. xo, not-a-mom-but-a-woman-with-common-sense.
-Read this!

I totally loved this. Like 100% consumed by it and had to keep reading/listening at all times. I fell asleep with my kindle in my hands last night trying to squeeze in a few more pages despite how tired I was. It was that good.

Chandler Baker, you're officially an auto buy author for me and I can't wait for your next all-consuming read!
