Book Description:
If you’ve ever been a room parent or school volunteer, Jen Dixon is your hero. She says what every class mom is really thinking, whether in her notoriously frank emails or standup-worthy interactions with the micromanaging PTA President and the gamut of difficult parents. Luckily, she has the charm and wit to get away with it―most of the time. Jen is sassier than ever but dealing with a whole new set of challenges, in the world of parental politics and at home.
She’s been roped into room-parenting yet again, for her son Max’s third grade class, but as her husband buries himself in work, her older daughters navigate adulthood, and Jen’s own aging parents start to need some parenting themselves, Jen gets pulled in more directions than any one mom, or superhero, can handle.
Refreshingly down-to-earth and brimming with warmth, Dixon’s next chapter will keep you turning the pages to find out what’s really going on under the veneer of polite parent interactions, and have you laughing along with her the whole way.
Thoughts:
I really enjoyed #classmom so couldn’t wait to read this one – and I liked it BETTER than the first! Sometimes the second book can fall short if I really enjoyed the first, and this was not one of those. This was equally as funny, but I felt it had a bit more content and relationships than the first one (which appeals to me more). Full of humor, elementary school drama, mom life, adult relationships, and showing up for others, this was a great light and fun read!
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
