The Grass Is Always Greener On The Other Side
Some suburban moms just can't catch a break. There is humor in raising kids, guinea pigs, soccer moms and Nutella. Toss in two new roommates to make ends meet, crazy daily chaos; and a desire to have the green grass she once had, and you get a story about a mom that makes it all work out. A light, uplifting read, that any mom could easily relate to. Humor in all the right spots and just a touch of romance to give it all a happy ending.
This book is dedicated to all the moms in my life. We have laughed through the most diverse oddities and cried about the worst. We talk about our kids with hopes and wishes, and we complain about them like nobody's business. We are the most important people in our family's lives, yet we are often the most under appreciated. This book is to you. May you remember that the grass IS NOT always greener on the other side.
Metaphorically speaking we as women are our own worse critics. We need these things, so we can look into the mirror to say, 'ah, my grass is looking pretty green'. If it takes a box of hair color, a new outfit or to shed a few pounds to make the grass seem green, then so be it. However, Maybelline Briggs isn't looking for the Holy Grail of Eternal Youth, just a way to get back on her feet through all the chaos.

A light fun read full of Nutella! What more could you want? A romantic comedy about a Mum trying to make ends meet after a divorce and coping with menopause. I found the characters likable, especially the handsome love interest, who was a real gentleman. It was great to see the characters grow throughout the book. A dreamy happily ever after.

Loved this book, humor was nice. I even laughed a few times. I adore books with humor. It has just about all in it, lost love, new love, kids that drive you nuts, ex's, roommates so much more. Is really a book to keep and re-read.
