Plenty of "new parent" guides cover the basics of breastfeeding, bonding, sleep, and "getting back in shape". But nowhere is a guide that tells you, WTF is this squeeze bottle thing from the hospital? You Look Tired is a totally honest, tell-it-like-it-is guide for new moms who don't want any more advice. Writing as Jenny True on her "Excruciatingly Personal Mommy Blog" and in the "Dear Jenny" column on Romper, Jenny has been called the "postpartum feelings doula", as she doles out her unique mix of humor, rage, and encouragement (with a smidge of practical advice)

Refreshingly honest and very funny
Revisado: 01-19-22
Although my children are all grown now, I truly enjoyed this refreshingly (brutally!) honest look at pregnancy, parenthood, and partnership. We may not have experienced the exact same things and may have been many years apart in going through these travails, but some tales are as old as time, and they are hilariously told in this book. The narrator seemed perfect for the content, conveying the mix of humor and frustration in a way that I imagine brought life to the stories very accurately. The only caveat is that the book does contain a fair bit of cursing and honest talk about being a mother and a partner that some may find off-putting. Personally, I thought these aspects enhanced the experience rather than detracted from it, but it is worth mentioning.
Some parts of the book may work best in print, such as the end-of-chapter content (e.g., checklists or quizzes), but that is also available in the accompanying PDF so may be able to be skipped in the audio. The wonderful pictures in the PDF were a nice surprise!
