for a good time…

It’s not every day that you open a novel as fun to read as Amy Sohn’s Motherland, which is a follow up to her previous Prospect Park West. Both novels accentuate the more recently popular “mommy-lit” genre, which may help you choose whether this is next on your reading list or not. I’m no mommy and I had a good time reading both.

In Motherland, you meet up with previous characters. Five couples who have their share of issues, and that give you an honest and hysterical look into parenthood in NYC today. It’s honestly a hilarious read, and Sohn who was born and raised in the big city definitely knows what she’s talking about.
