Laurie Gelman is hilarious. Her characters and writing had me rolling with laughter. I am not a mom nor do I plan to ever be one but I could oddly relate to the characters (maybe because I have nieces and nephews).Jen Dixon has two college age daughter and a 5 year old son. She gets strong armed into being class mom and it ends up being a lot more work than she bargained for. Parents don't understand her snark, no one wants to volunteer and then there is the kid who is allergic to everything who has the overbearing mother and let's not forget the hot dad!
Class Mom is about the struggles of being a mom (perhaps an older mom than the rest), friendships, drama and re-revising old feelings, high school crushes and the trials of having young adult children in college.
This is a super fun, easy read but be warned it takes a while to warm up to Jen, initially she isn't the a likable character but then she grows on you.
