Hubby and I had the pleasure of meeting the author and having her sign the book. She's an engaging speaker, and I adore her writing style. Enjoyed the book even more than the movie, picturing Diane Laine in all the humorous situations. Fun read with wonderful relationship insight. (

This gets a whole star because I did finish it, even though that may be more a reflection upon my tenacity than of quality. The thing is, I did not expect much of this book. I got it used, cheap, and thought it would be an easy, surface, summer read. For the first 3 or 4 nights I kept thinking it would get better. It didn't. The past several nights were I'm-not-letting-this-thing-get-the-better-of-me. And the fact it took that many nights to read such a little book tells the rest of the story. I couldn't stay awake to finish the damn thing any sooner. (

light, charming - a step up from romance/ chick lit - I adored the glimpses into our heroine's preschool classroom - I wouldn't mind reading other stories about the rest of her family (
