After the chick lit, here is the mom-lit announces the back cover of this attractive novel. And we like this fresh literature, full of humor and in which we see ourselves as in a mirror…

Hannah arrives in New York where her husband has been transferred for his job. Hard shock from his California reality. Do you think she is a thousand leagues from us? You haven't met the New York Jungle Moms yet. Bee, the wife of Hannah's husband's best friend, is forced to introduce the ex-Californian to her gang of friends. These very hip moms look down on Hannah since she dresses her daughter Violette at Gap, that she hasn't yet enrolled her in the best kindergarten there (failure in sight at university, that's clear!), that she refuses to pay a $4,000 internship to remove her little girl's pacifier (risk of obvious language delay!) and that she does not yet have an assigned nanny to allow her to go to trendy restaurants, the exhibitions and empty the shopsnonchalantly presenting his credit card. Among others. Because these upscale mothers are ready to do anything low to ensure their offspring a spoiled rotten future. Worse still than this bunch of completely crazy moms who put on first-age yoga classes, multiply layettes from great designers and preparatory classes for kindergarten, there is her mother-in-law who dreams of seeing Hannah transform into the perfect mother… Help! We can only sympathize with her. And we devour the pages to share our daily life. Even more, we would invite him to have dinner with us.
A little bonus full of tasty winks: the glossary of Momzilles terms and abbreviations. We find there the definitions of the accouspeech (endless speech on the pains of childbirth), the anoreximère (mother who regains her weight of shape less than fifteen days after having given birth), sperminator (father of four children or more) and mèralisatrice (mother convinced that she knows what is needed not only for her child, but also for all those of others).
Succulent!
