Fiction. Literature. Humor (Fiction.) HTML:Lanie Coates??s life is spinning out of control. She??s piled everything she owns into a U-Haul and driven with her husband, Peter, and their three little boys from their cozy Texas home to a multiflight walkup in the Northeast. She??s left behind family, friends, and a comfortable life??all so her husband can realize his dream of becoming a professional musician.

Not my favorite of her books. ( )

Just delightfully descriptive and page turning....sweetly funny. How did Center possibly come up with so many examples of three little boys doing so many kinds of things??? I'm sure there are mothers who can relate. ( )

Finally taking the time to record my review of this book. It took me awhile to get to it, and honestly, I wish I'd read it sooner - I found it intensely relatable as someone who also shares the roles of "wife" and "mother", though I'm now at a point in my life where I have neither a husband nor young children. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading other works of Ms. Center's.

A great book about a stay-at-home mother transforming her life after having three boys.

The only problem I had with the novel is toward the ending when the author tried to force a "take away" message about beauty and love. I think those intellectual, self-realization passages tainted the overall story which was told with grace, humor, and insight. ( )

I had higher expectations for this book. I thought I would be able to relate, and it would send a positive message about beauty... instead, the main character was pretty unlikable. It reinforced gender roles (her friend's daughter only owned dresses and sat primly, rather than play in the sandbox? Seriously?) and the main character was so self-absorbed, it was frustrating. ( )
