From the well-loved author of Knitting Under the Influence and The Smart One and the Pretty One comes a new novel about a young single mother trying to move out of her family's shadow. Rickie left home a long time ago-so how is it that at the age of twenty-five, she's living with her parents again, and sleeping in the bedroom of her childhood home? At least one thing has changed since high school: She now has a very sweet but frequently challenging son named Noah, who attends the same tony private LA school she herself attended. Rickie fit in fine when she was a student, but now her age and tattoos make her stand out from all the blond Stepford moms, who are desperate to know why someone so young-and so unmarried-has a kid in first grade. Already on the defensive, Rickie goes into full mother-tigress mode when her small and unathletic son tells her that the gym teacher is out to get him. She storms the principal's office, only to discover that Andrew Fulton, the coach, is no dumb jock. As her friendship with Andrew develops, Rickie finds herself questioning her assumptions-about motherhood, being a grown-up, and falling in love.… (mer)

I can't understand why I finished this book, I didn't feel like there was much of a story here at all.
Just not one of my fav's.

What a great, fun story!

This is just such an easy read, I fell right into it and the pages almost turned themselves. However, I must say that I don’t think I’ve ever disliked the main character so much yet just kept reading the book. And as I kept reading, I realized the problem: The author was telling my story!

With a few exceptions, like the wealthy parents and the tattoos, Rickie was me. It took me a long time to grow up and act like an adult, well past the time I became a mother. So of course I identified with Rickie, especially her rather strained relationship with her mother. And as I kept reading I just fell in love with Rickie; she was trying so hard to be a really good mother.

I’ve read several of Claire LaZebnik’s books and I’ve enjoyed them all. But I think this may be my favorite. After all, I’ve never seen my life spread out before me like that, written beautifully and told with great humor.

The characters are fully developed and fleshed out, very easy to imagine them. The story was so well done and the writing fluid. I’m going to keep this book to read again, something I rarely do. ( )

Enjoyable, not life altering, but a good, quick read.

Rickie - she of the tatoos and nose ring, is a young single mom (had Noah at 19) living at home with her folks and just seperated half-sister.
Six year old Noah is small for his age, not athletic, and allergy-prone. At the private school that his grandparents pay for is often not the best part of his day. Enter coach Andrew, young, cute and in a relationship. You get the rest. ( )
