A perfect mix of humor and honesty
I loved that this book was from such a real perspective and didn't sugar coat anything about motherhood! The struggle of "mommy guilt" and the constant competition with other mothers is hard enough without adding PPD on top of it! It's so refreshing to read someone else has struggled with all the same thoughts and feelings as I have, and has come through it battle weary but with humor intact! I highly recommend this book to any new mom who is wondering if there is something wrong with them because they don't feel like motherhood fits like a glove immediately! This book is a testament to the fact that it really does get better!
