Editing my first novel THE POTATO SALAD POTLUCK and my first memoir ONE WEEK AT A TIME: A COMING OF MIDDLE AGE MEMOIR both available to add to your To Be Read pile on Goodreads.

In THE POTATO SALAD POTLUCK, four mothers from an affluent white suburb have several things in common. They all have children in kindergarten at the local public school. They are all stuck in lives they wish to escape and secrets they can’t reveal. And they all bring potato salad to the kindergarten potluck. When the party gets out of hand, the chaos clears the clutter of their lives and reveals that the answers to their problems are closer than they think. But first, they’ll need to get the mayonnaise out of their hair and handbags.

This book kept me awake on a flight I should have used for rest! The protagonist is delightfully flawed and relatable. Great read!!

I wanted to love this book and feel I’m the outlier not excited by this story. I never connected with the protagonist. I had hope throughout but never, even at the end, got there. I can see the allure, but couldn’t connect with this.

Kristine’s Quotes

“There is no doubt that Kristine Laco is a super funny writer—just check out any of her online humour pieces if you don’t believe me—but what you might not expect is that she can also turn around and make you cry. In this memoir, Laco reveals her more vulnerable side as she shares her mental health struggles and the journey she undertakes to overcome them, all with her trademark humour and an openness and generosity that makes the reader feel as though they are part of the gang. This is a big-hearted, roller-coaster ride of a book, in which Laco shows the reader that even in the darkest times in our lives, there is light.”
― Amy Jones
