Our club was very frustrated with the main character of the book. Most members had multiple children and never sank this low. Most of us wanted to slap her. Her character did not ring true and many said they had to force themselves to finish it.

While this novel began in an almost stand-up comedy style, the heart of the story goes much deeper. Bunmi Laditan draws attention, mostly through humor, to the glaring differences between the ideal mother and the reality of motherhood - especially in social media. I could relate to the idea that we make our lives more difficult than they need be purely by focusing on what others say they are achieving. I recommend this title to new parents {as if they have time to read novels :)} or parents of young children, but any mother could relate to the trials of Ashley.
