3.5 stars, rounded up to 4. I’m really not sure I have 250 words to say about this book. It’s 71 lists about parenthood. They’re not hilarious, but they’re pretty funny.

Since then, I have felt compelled to read everything ever written by Janet Evanovich. I used to buy everything, but stopped a few years ago, for which reason the following review will make clear. I recently moved and joined my new local […]
