Sugar and spice and everything sucks…Lara Stone is back again, and she’s discovering that nine months of being miserably pregnant were nothing compared to the misery once the baby finally shows up. But when Lara’s long-estranged dad appears on her doorstep (literally) with his ex-stripper fiancée, her husband begins flirting with a hot twenty-five year-old and her nanny starts casting voodoo spells to keep her from losing those last ten pounds, Lara soon finds that sleepless nights, S & M-like pumping bras and a raging case of the post-baby blues are the last of her problems. As Lara continues with her quest to become a “good” mother, she tries to keep sane among the Gucci-clad Mommunists from her Mommy and Me class, and just when she is certain that she will never figure out this nurturing thing, she finds support in the unlikeliest of places and comes to understand that – unlike diapering – there’s no “right” way to love someone.

“A comical glimpse at the perils of motherhood in L.A…. Green adroitly makes the reader cheer Lara as she learns to trust her instincts and blaze her own path…Green’s biting wit shines through Lara’s tangles with working-mom guilt and the horrors of the baby blues.”

“Funny stuff at a frantic pace.”

“One of the most hilarious reads this summer…will keep readers laughing as they slowly grow to love this new mother and all of her faults.”
