The story is essentially the bumpy road to enlightenment: nobody’s perfect and something always has to give. Not only is it extremely well written, with V’s stress levels practically jumping off the page, it also cleverly showcases the number of relationships women have to juggle, such as children, colleagues, family, and the pressure this can evoke. The book presents what is now a reality for a lot of mum’s who are trying to make their way up the career ladder.
If you are a working mother this is a must-read. She just hopes it is one she can live with.’ Pushed to the brink of losing everything, V knows she’s going to have to take a stand. At work her colleagues whisper every time she leaves the office before 8:00. At home she faces mothers who can’t figure out why anyone would ever think about leaving their child for eighty hours a week. For ten months V bounces between two lives like a super ball in a fun house. Even as she fights to get back to the world she knows, V falls deeper in love with Madison and swears that she is going to be exactly the kind of mother that Madison needs. V escapes from the maternity ward determined to get back to business, but Baby Madison has other plans. But no matter how hard she works her Blackberry, “normal” doesn’t happen. V is counting the days until the pregnancy is over and her life can return to normal.
She’s got her whole life wrapped up with a big silver bow, and is sure it will be no problem to tie a rattle to the end of it. Fantastic career, amazing husband, and an unbelievable view from her apartment on Central Park West.
