afceres's review against another edition
I found the FMC relatable, but the overall writing style and structure difficult to follow. The inner dialogue and narration was almost written as a stream of consciousness and seemed as “word vomit”. The timeline jumps back and forth as she reflects on her life. Her husband was easy to hate with his cliché excuses but still hard to fathom how dumb he is to think things would just click back to normal after he was found. I would have liked to be given the conclusion of the would they won’t they just for the piece of mind.

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for an ARC of ‘None of This Would Have Happened If Prince Were Alive’ by Carolyn Prusa in exchange for my honest feedback.
4 stars!! This book was so much fun to read and so RELATABLE in so many areas.
As a working mom, I deeply felt the struggle our heroine, Romona feels about family/work life balance. But that struggle is just the tip of the iceberg for Romona, there is a literal hurricane headed her way on top of her discovering her husband’s affair… all in one day.
This book was an entertaining, easy read. Following Romona on all her adventures was so much fun!

Definitely not for anyone who has actually lived the fear, anxiety and destruction of a major hurricane. Absolutely not.

I enjoyed this so much more than I thought I would. What mom hasn't felt like she's being pulled in 10,000 directions or forgotten the person they were before kids?
Definitely spoke to me. Highly recommend this one, Prince fan or not.

Well this was fun!
The name of the book caught my eye but the description sold me. Hurricane coming and Ramona, who is barely holding it together as a working mom, catches her husband cheating. Told between present day and random flashbacks, this was a fun ride. I mean, you can't go wrong with an old woman named Gigi as a character.
The pacing was fast and smooth making for a quick, can't-put-down read. Once I realized Ramona's children would play a prominent role I was iffy but even as annoying as they were I ended up not minding. It felt like an authentic portrayal of a working mom: phone calls mid domestic disasters, feeling alone while everyone wants everything from her, calm on the outside but screaming on the inside. It was funny without trying too hard and I could totally read more from some of the side characters.
