Sparkly Green Earrings

Dates Read: February 2013
I read this book in under 24 hours - both because it was a relatively short book and because it was sooo good that I could not put it down. I am not a mother, but I still found this memoir about motherhood very endearing. It might have made my baby fever a little worse, but at the same time, I very much appreciated her honesty about the highs and lows of motherhood. I think all women who are mothers or want to be mothers should read this book!
