Very good just the first part didn’t seem to flow into the rest of the book in fact I think it would have been better if the author separated the books into parts part one her getting pregnant and her son as a child part two her son

getting into a relationship part three her dream job and part four where it all got out of hand

An interesting slice of life novel that gets a little rocky toward the end.  I'm not sure I enjoyed it but that is mostly because I require a plot I can follow from beginning to end.  This one had several false starts but a definitive finish.  She was definitely an inreresting character although at times she did seem a little flat.
