Confessions of a Naughty Mommy: How I Found My Lost Libido by Heidi Raykeil

5.0

I've had this on the bookshelf for a few months and it's been staring at me, making me feel guilty for not even having the inclination to read let alone think about the topic it broaches: sex after baby. Let me just say this to all moms of small children out there: read this book. It will not make you feel guilty or sucky or frumpy. It will provide you with a humorous (and also hip-ly heartfelt) look at this touchiest of subjects, this melding of the maternal side and the sexual side of yourself. I totally related to the author's experience, not in every way of course, but enough to feel a connection and provide me with some much needed insight. Raykeil is honest, brutal, flawed, giving and real. I don't know why I waited so long to read it (well, I do), but it has given me a new outlook on the whole deal and a willingness to be more open, more present. Just read it, you'll be glad you did. ;)
