so-so

This is a novel about what happens when a wife and mother who is seldom home is suddenly unemployed and stuck looking after the children. Plenty of snark, but I just couldn't identify with all the motherhood and marriage angst, no matter how entertainingly written. #NetGalley

mrsh62010 A friend who was working had to call out a patient by this first name: Sha-ia. She pronounced it the best she could, and was greeted with a hostile "IT'S SHADASHIA I GUESS YOU CAN'T READ?!" 7y

mrsh62010 I recall that story every time I hear a new weird name 😂 7y

Mariposa_Bookworm Noooooooooo not Sha-Dash-ia.... Say it isn't so! 7y

Jenshootsweddings @mrsh62010 I'm laughing so hard at that story! 7y

MyNamesParadise I actually kind of like it but I wouldn't personally give it to a kid if I ever have one 7y

Lynnsoprano @mrsh62010 That is just too funny! 7y

Lynnsoprano I once had a student with an odd name-can't remember what-and every time i called on her, she'd correct my pronunciation. Problem was, she never pronounced it the same way twice! 7y

Seekingtardis My little pony parents!! 😂😂🦄💕 @Lynnsoprano that's me as a child!! 😂 7y

BethM We keep a running list at work ;) I'll have to add this to my TBR- looks good! 7y

Mimi28 What about the common names? I remember one time I one of four Michelle's in my class. 7y

vivastory @BookishMarginalia I received my secret Santa email but there wasn't an address to mail it to. 7y

Abby-J I'm glad that everyone else in this comment thread also immediately jumped on the My Little Pony reference. 😂🦄 7y

tapgurl This book sounds good! 7y

Louise Hi, @BookishMarginalia! I have not yet received an e-mail about Secret Santa but see that many others are already preparing and mailing packages. Please resend my email. Thank you! 7y

BookishMarginalia @Louise Resent 👍🏼 7y

BookishMarginalia @tapgurl It's good and snarky. I gave it a so-so because it's too much dysfunctional motherhood and wifehood for my taste. 7y

BookishMarginalia @Wilkie @Seekingtardis @Abby-J I admit I did not get the My Little Pony reference, so thank you for pointing it out! 😂 7y

Loretta 🦄🦄🦄 7y

Zelma @Mimi28 good point. As a late 70s kid, every other classmate was Jessica or Michelle. I appreciated that my name was an earlier gen name. 7y

Life After Coffee was a satisfying surprise! When I read the synopsis for this one, it reminded me of other novels with the same premise: Working mom loses fulfilling job and must become a stay-at-home parent. But this one had me laughing and nodding and shaking my head too. The characters are real, with quirks and flaws, and they make mistakes. Big mistakes. I'll be excited to see what Virginia Franken does next!

I don't drink coffee (love the smell though), but this book made me want to pick up the habit! Impeccable research of coffee beans, brewing, manufacturing, and industry. A great gift for every coffee loving woman you know. If her wit can be acerbic, even better. This protagonist is snarky, smart, and doing her very best as mother, wife, and woman with a passion.

Megabooks Great review!! 👍🏻 8y

MMFinck @Ebooksandcooks Thanks!! :) 8y
