A completely relatable and comical read for anyone with kids or a love of all things 80's! Thoroughly enjoyable from beginning to end.

3.5 rounded up.
This was a solid debut. I found the mom life moments funny and utterly relatable!! The Prince/80s throwback nostalgia was delightful too. Recommended for fans of Camille Pagan or Laurie Gelman's Class mom series. Much thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital copy in exchange for my honest review! (Amazing purple cover too!!)

In this novel, a Category Four Hurricane is heading towards Savannah where Ramona, thirty-eight, leads a busy and harried life as a project manager, mom to a toilet training toddler, and she’s dealing with her own mother who is refusing to evacuate. In the evacuation hurricane panic Ramona rushes home to find her husband having an affair with a mom from their kids’ school, so she makes the choice to evacuate without him. Throughout the novel, Ramona revisits memories where Prince’s songs played during seminal moments in her life. This was a fast and funny read taking place over the course of a frenzied 48-hours. Thank you to Atria books and Netgalley for the advanced review copy.

Witty, charming, fast-paced, and a great book to get you out of a reading slump.
