MRS PERFECT is the sequel to ODD MOM OUT, and I love the way we now root for the woman we disliked in the first book. Turns out it's all a matter of perspective, and it's a lesson well worth remembering in real life.
Other issues I found memorable include:
- women who love designer labels may be deeper than I give them credit for
- juggling a job and motherhood sucks
- the job market doesn't appreciate experience or real-life skills
- money doesn't buy happiness (ok, I knew that, but it's nice to have it confirmed).
Footnote: I loved the way the author pokes fun at book clubs in MRS PERFECT. Having tried book clubs myself, I know how the heroine feels about the highbrow award-winning novels....
