I quite enjoyed this frothy novel, which was written in the form of diary entries. Libby, the narrator-diarist, negotiates motherhood, money troubles, and the usual petty politics at her young son's private school, all with wit and good humor. The author's style is engaging, and the characters and dialog are realistic. There were even several laugh-out-loud moments, and that's quite unusual for me.There's a lot of UK slang in the book, but I could usually get the gist.One small criticism: the book really needed better editing, especially to remove the numerous greengrocer's apostrophes.I got this on Amazon's free day on my Kindle, but I'd definitely consider buying other books by Amanda Egan.
