"Here's a talent test: when a narrator's doldrums make a reader laugh out loud. Frank, bawdy, and full of keenly self-aware observations, this novel tells the story of one new mother, three men, one marriage, and the baby love that keeps us up at night Joy used to be single, skinny, and able to speak in complete sentences, but who is she now? As she's trying to figure that out, her husband goes missing. Not to mention she's obsessed with her sexy yoga instructor, who might just be interested in her. It must be the lack of sleep, because Joy is starting to think she might have ended up with the wrong man. The one she was still in love with when she married her husband. Until her old college boyfriend shows up at their ten-year reunion. Sure, Joy's a woman on the brink, but it's nothing a little sleep, sanity, and chocolate can't fix. Joy turns to her own mom for support, but she's too busy planning her fourth wedding to a suspicious self-help guru.
Of course she's crazy about her newborn son it's her distracted, work-obsessed husband and his impossible mother she can't stand. New mom Joy McGuire hasn't changed her sweatpants since her baby was born. For new moms, potential moms-to-be, and anyone who just wants to (wisely) live the experience vicariously. In this riotously funny, ruefully honest, and irresistibly warmhearted debut, Samantha Wilde writes about one new mother who discovers the wonders and terrors of motherhood-one hilarious crisis at a time.
