9 posts | 13 read | 6 to read
The hilarious, irreverent Jen Dixon is class momagainfor her sons fifth grade year, and a class bully, spin-teacher training, and her irresistible granddaughter keep her on her toes and perpetually in yoga pants. The now beloved hero of Laurie Gelmans Class Mom and Youve Been Volunteered has a lot on her plate this year in Yoga Pant Nationfrom childcare duties for her daughters two-year-old to her determined mission to become a spin instructor. When her husbands ex-wife shows up to her first ever class as a full-fledged teacherand compliments her performance!she cant help but wonder what the catch is. Throw in a mandate from the PTA president to raise $10,000 for the fifth graders new Chrome books and her daughters mother-in-law (whom no one has ever met) visiting for Christmas, and Jen is going to need more than her regular spin class to get her through the year. But as ever, humor is her best stress relief. Her acerbic emails to the class parents and friendly spars with her daughter over how organic is organic-enough for baby food will have you laughing out loud and texting Jens best lines to your friends.

Third book in the series and you do have to read in order. Fun quick read, with some funny parts. Sometimes the protagonist‘s judgmental snark in the first two books got on my nerves, but I liked the emphasis on family in this one. My favorite part is that it takes place in Kansas City, where I live, so the places mentioned are familiar. We do NOT say “ya” nor would any Kansas Citian ever say that a Memphis bbq restaurant was the best ever.

“They aren‘t ‘I give up‘ pants! They‘re comfortable. Every woman I know wears them.”

Very funny. The original “Class Mom” was my fav, but this is almost as good.
(And, yeah, I‘m sitting here reading while wearing yoga pants😂)

Btw…if anyone figures out the frequent use of ‘ya‘ in this book, let me know. Everyone I know from the Midwest says “yeah,” not “ya.”

AutumnRLS I love this series. I haven't gotten to this one yet, but it's on my nightstand. 2y
marleed Haha. If I saw ‘ya‘ I‘d feel like the following apostrophe and ll‘s were forgotten as in - Ya‘ll, it‘s yeah not ya! 2y

#bookclub Enjoyed this one to my great relief. I haven‘t been having the best of times with my club's choices so far. A couple of maybe minor quibbles: I didn‘t understand the use of “Ya” in the dialogue, and was not impressed with the flippant mention of a child murder case that, to me, is very sad and shouldn‘t be a joke. Also, I hate wearing yoga pants! 1/2 ⬇️

BkClubCare OTOH, I am impressed and inspired with a lady in her mid-fifties achieving the goal of being a spin trainer. And it had pie! #LitPie #PieinLiterature #CaresBooksandPie #iLovePie 2/2 2y
Ruthiella What did “Ya” mean? Yes or Yeah? 2y
BkClubCare I read it as YEAH or YEA ; “ya” doesn‘t really work for me in that pronunciation. And since this book is set in Kansas, it really didn‘t work. 🤣 2y
BkClubCare My 95th book of the year. 2y

Someone recommended this on Fb- do you know if I need to read the first two to understand?

Jebpix No. This stands on its own. But, all three are great! 3y
