About The Book
Finlay Donovan is killing it… except, she’s really not. She’s a stressed-out single-mom of two and struggling novelist, Finlay’s life is in chaos: the new book she promised her literary agent isn’t written, her ex-husband fired the nanny without telling her, and this morning she had to send her four-year-old to school with hair duct-taped to her head after an incident with scissors. – Goodreads
My Review: Hell, yes
I read a lot of heavy novels in the last two months, and this book was a welcome respite. Witty and hilarious, this book kept me turning the pages and laughing outright at some of the scrapes Finlay found herself in as a mother, writer and accidental assassin.
Favourite Quotes
It’s a widely known fact that most moms are ready to kill someone by eight thirty A.M. on any given morning. On the particular morning of Tuesday, October eighth, I was ready by seven forty-five. If you’ve never had to wrestle a two-year-old slathered in maple syrup into a diaper while your four-year-old decides to give herself a haircut in time for preschool, all while trying to track down the whereabouts of your missing nanny as you sop up coffee grounds from an overflowing pot because in your sleep-deprived fog you forgot to put in the filter, let me spell it out for you. I was ready to kill someone. I didn’t really care who.
Why You Should Read It
One of those chick lit books that reminded me why I love this genre so much. A+
