The Girlfriends' Guide to Surviving the First Year of Motherhood

At first I thought this was just a funny read on all the good stuff that happens during those first month, but after my daughter was born I actually found myself going back to some parts and they were really depicting some situations perfectly. I like it as it is non-judgemental whereas many other parenting books are. It won't change your world, but it's a fun read nevertheless.

I read this book as I pumped at work. HILARIOUS! Plus truly insightful, I would not have survived without it.

I loved this book! She tells it like it is, but in a hilarious way, and gives genuinely good advice.
