Summary
From the New York Times bestselling author of Help, Thanks, Wow; Small Mercies; and Stitches, a wise and witty novel about motherhood. Look out for Anne's next book, Hallelujah Anyway, coming in 2017.

In Anne Lamott’s wise and witty novel, the growing pains of motherhood are portrayed with rare humor and honesty. If Elizabeth Ferguson had her way, she’d spend her days savoring good books, cooking great meals, and waiting for the love of her life to walk in the door. But it’s not a man she’s waiting for, it’s her daughter, Rosie—her wild-haired, smart-mouthed, and wise-beyond-her-years alter ego. With Rosie around, the days aren’t quite so long, but Elizabeth can’t keep the realities of the world at bay, and try as she might, she can’t shield Rosie from its dangers or mysteries. As Rosie grows older and more curious, Elizabeth must find a way to nurture her extraordinary daughter—even if it means growing up herself.

Got about 3 and 1/2 hours in, and gave up. Couldn't slog thru the rest. Wish I could get my one credit back. Kept waiting for something to actually happen, but no..... No real story line, and the main character is a mopey, weak, whiny, self centered witch with a "B". Gets unnecessarily mad at everything and most people for no reason other than she is a miserable person herself, and the other characters tiptoe around her on eggshells for some wimpy reason. Elizabeth is apparently good looking, still healthy (aside from drinking too much), has enough money to not have to work, yet still mopes around "not liking" EVERYTHING, and whining to herself that she "just doesn't know what to do with/can't "find herself" (eyeroll). To the Elizabeth character: GET A JOB (any job) to fill your too-much time, and occupy your mind, try actually enjoying the little things in life, be grateful for what you DO have, and literally, GET (or create) A REAL LIFE!!!!. Yes, I get that it's only a story, but those suggestions apply to real life, too, when you really think about it, and I couldn't stand to be around a person like her for oh, say, more than five minutes. My two scents about the character herself and the overall story, but the narrator was good.
