April is a thoughtful yet sarcastic mother of two who tries her best to be a caring, connected mom in a middle-class culture where motherhood has become relentless. April rages at modern motherhood’s impossible pressures, her husband’s “Dad privilege”, and her kids’ incessant snack requests. She wants to enjoy motherhood, but her idealist vision and lived experience are in constant conflict with one another. Is she broken - or is motherhood?
Desperate for an answer, she seeks out a therapist, and lands with an unexpected woman whose validation and wisdom gives April the clarity to reclaim herself and even start designing clothes - her pre-motherhood passion. But when the ever-elusive babysitter cancels last-minute, April finds herself back at square one. She seeks guidance, but her therapist is now dealing with her own crumbling marriage - and instead of counseling April, she convinces her to speed off to Las Vegas to help catch her husband cheating. With a little weed, alcohol, and topless pool hopping, plus a male stripper and some much-needed autonomy, the two find lost pieces of themselves that motherhood swallowed up. But neither one is prepared for how tested - and tempted - they will be, or for the life-altering choices their journey will force them to make. Who is guiding whom anymore?

I've honestly been looking for a book from the perspective of a mom with young kids, ever since my own life has been consumed by baby-bosses, stinky diapers and soft wet kisses. This book delivers. Brandy drops as many truth-bombs as F-bombs and each one feels refreshing and hilariously validating. I'm not one to swear a bunch myself, but any mom knows the panicky moments when it feels like the world is crashing down, she's lost control, and for some crazy reason curse words lighten the load just enough to keep going.
I eventually came to like Brandy's voice as the narrator, but it did take a few chapters to get used to her. If you're put off by the way she reads the book, just give it a few chapters and I promise it gets better.
The most impactful aspect of this book, and biggest reason why I will be telling my friends to read it: the spotlight Brandy shines on parenting inequality. She is able to detangle the necessary burdens of motherhood, and what culture has unfairly placed upon the shoulders of the mothers in our society. I loved how she portrays a very honest and sometimes uncomfortable view of how the husband, Aaron, despite how deeply he cares for his wife, follows the script of our society and doesn't even see how much she's struggling and how much he's NOT DOING. He's neither a hero nor a villain, but is what so many of husbands of our time are. I was shocked at how close to my own marital issues the book came. Just get the book!! There's no way you won't benefit in some way from it, parent or not, mom or not, woman or not.
FINALLY, a book a mom can fully relate to!
