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.
