This was a great little read!! It’s both laugh out loud funny and reading through your tears emotional. The main character (Delia) is a stressed out mother of three who has just a little too much on her plate to deal with as well as feeling like a failure and comparing herself to other people & their lives. She’s, also, still dealing with the grief of losing her own mother as a child.

But, when she does, she discovers a woman she never knew— who struggled with the same things in motherhood that Delia does. This is a quick read with just 192 pages that will make you laugh and cry at the same time!! I think that most mothers can understand how Delia feels and can relate to her. And, honestly... I completely related to several of her “confessions” myself but I won’t tell you which ones! 😂

Fun and real... in some ways, it read more like a copy of my journal than a novel—but in a very good way. I could see myself in the main character and connect to her struggles. Her "confessions" rang true, the characters were complex and believable, and I enjoyed every minute of it. It's one of those rare novels that manages to teach you something about yourself... you will be glad you read it.
