A hilarious and charming story about a quirky single mom in San Francisco who tiptoes through the minefields of the Mommy Wars and manages to find friendship and love.

Mele tells her boyfriend that she's pregnant and he tells her he is engaged. Mele has her baby, Ellie, alone and joins a parent group for support.
That's this book. Mele tells stories from the members of her parent group. These folks worry and obsess and rant and whine and complain and worry and obsess a little more.
The conversations Mele has with her friends are clever and witty and always savage. No one in the book, not even Mele, is that likable, and there is no action other than endless talking about very, very trivial things.
I read through to the end, but I didn't enjoy the read and I finished feeling like I'd wasted my time.
