3.5 rounded to a 3
I'm beginning to realize, the more I read these types of books, that they just aren't my thing. While I absolutely loved all the aspects of mommy-hood this book covered and the need to feel important via social media, the rest just didn't resonate with me. From personal experience, I understand the struggles of being a mom and the image issues it presents and this book does great in that aspect.
I guess what ruined it for me was the backstabbing, high school pettiness. I've had enough of that type of silly drama through friends and TV...I don't need it in my books too. Maybe this will teach me to actually read the synopsis of a book BEFORE I read it
