About the book:
This is another pre-print copy received from LT. The book is a funny take on the life of a new mom living with her husband and nanny in Manhattan. The dialogue is hilarious and peppered with intelligent remarks, which makes the book greatly enjoyable and easy to read. I would recommend this book to any woman who ever had a child and went through the tribulations of the first years as a mom, and/or is still married to the same man after 7 years. Not really; I guess most women would enjoy it- this is a book to read on a vacation, on a beach, or on the bus to work (and dream about hi-life in NYC). I dare to compare it slightly with the 'Shopaholic' series by Sophie Kinsella, but with a bit more grown up tinge. Maybe a combination of SATC, plus Shopaholic, plus baby and hubby. The only reason why I did not rate it as a 5 is that although the book starts very well and gets one interested, it becomes a bit drag in the middle. The ending picks up the rhythm a bit, so all in all this is a funny book.
