I especially liked that all women -- not just mothers -- could relate to Lanie.

The message of the book IS very positive--it's about looking for beauty and things to love in life instead of looking for flaws and things to criticize. I'm so glad it spoke to you! Have you seen the book trailer?? A friend and I put it together, and it we are so proud of it: <BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPwTrTaZRm0<BR/><BR/>Many thanks for your lovely review and for all your kind words!Katherine Centerhttp://www.katherinecenter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484597997021667690.post-28970450652909714632009-03-24T23:04:39.527-04:002009-03-24T23:04:39.527-04:00I had seen this one in library but had no idea what it was about, except for what was written on the cover.

Jen - I didn't think either of her two books would be my sort of book (I DON'T do mommy lit!) but she writes so well that you just can't help it. You'd be surprised. Wait until after you have the baby.

I only have 20 pages to go... argh! :) Can't wait to conclude the story. I really loved it, too, and can't wait to review it -- I was shocked by how much I related to Lanie, though I'm neither married or a mother. But everything Center writes about rings true for women of all ages, I think!writemeghttp://writemeg.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484597997021667690.post-86873508490437247672009-03-24T11:38:12.643-04:002009-03-24T11:38:12.643-04:00I'm really looking forward to reading this one because of it's upbeat message.bermudaonionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484597997021667690.post-31923999005451691872009-03-24T11:26:10.117-04:002009-03-24T11:26:10.117-04:00I got this one from LT and can't wait to start it, especially after reading your review!

I really loved this book as well. More people should pay attention to the beauty of people on the inside instead of always judging by the outside.Darhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15387389557243960084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484597997021667690.post-38358644857690069762009-03-24T11:05:20.890-04:002009-03-24T11:05:20.890-04:00It's true, we always note our faults firsts. Women, in general, tend to always put themselves last too. As I was reading your review, it reminded me of Terri Hatcher's book Burnt Toast. Hatcher's book is a memoir of sorts but it talks about always taking the burnt piece of toast and not putting ourselves first. It was a surprisingly enjoyable read.Tihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08687620527201679249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484597997021667690.post-87704227392645389112009-03-24T10:06:20.510-04:002009-03-24T10:06:20.510-04:00Interesting name for the genre: Mom lit.An Anonymous Childhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15805413335735169073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1484597997021667690.post-70989120869170031382009-03-24T09:58:38.520-04:002009-03-24T09:58:38.520-04:00Great review.
