Jen already has two college-age daughters by two different (probably) musicians, and its her second time around the class mom block with five-year-old Maxthis time with a husband and father by her side. Though her best friend and PTA President sees her as the wisest candidate for the job (or oldest), not all of the other parents agree.From recording parents response times to her emails about helping in the classroom, to requesting contributions of special brownies for curriculum night, not all of Jens methods win approval from the other moms. Throw in an old flame from Jens past, a hyper-sensitive allergy mom, a surprisingly sexy kindergarten teacher, and an impossible-to-please Real Housewife-wannabe, causing problems at every turn, and the job really becomes much more than she signed up for.Relatable, irreverent, and hilarious in the spirit of Maria Semple this is a fresh, welcome voice in fictionthe kind of audiobook that real moms clamor for, and a vicarious listen for all mothers, who will be laughing as they are liberated by Gelmans acerbic truths.Contact: [email protected]
