Every mom whoever attended at least one PTA meeting, that’s about all I could handle, should read this.

Hilarious, funny, entertaining and relatable! Absolutely loved this book. I honestly thought it was better than the movie. Loved the writing format, the characters, and the storyline. Everything you need in a perfect comedy.

Favorite Quote:
"I didn't have anything to own up to or apologize for. I wasn't a bad mom. I'm not a bad mom. And neither are these moms. I'm a normal mom. I'm just a mom."
📌Review
Bad Moms, originally a movie now made into a book, is a wild ride that makes you laugh if reading in public or alone, **husbands you have been warned**.
Amy, Kiki, and Carla are moms a part of McKinley PTA. When Amy decides to go against the PTA perfect mom, Gwendolyn, for PTA president, the pressure of being a perfect mom no longer exists as friendships form between the mothers.
The book and the movie itself is a parody on the idea of being the perfect mother and the pressure that society puts on women to fit that stereotype. The authors did a fantastic job at poking fun at the stereotype while suggesting that no one could ever be the perfect mom or wife and we all just do the best we can. As a mother myself, it was a nice reminder reading something like this while laughing every few pages.
The characters are really hard not to love as each portrays a different role in motherhood. I will say be prepared for a slower plot development because of the character development. However, the different povs keep you engaged making the plot fast paced.
What stereotypes do you battle as a mom? How do you overcome them? Let's chat in the comments from one mom to another! ✌️

I absolutely adore this movie. In fact, I love it so much that I was hesitant to read the novelization. But I’m glad I did because it was so worth it. Yes it’s the same story, but with extra perspectives, new jokes, and incredible narration.
