I received a copy of this book from LibraryThing for an honest review
I have never heard of this author before, but was anxious to read her book. As I opened it up I was quite surprised that It was all written in a span of four years on the character's Facebook page. I began to place a grin on my face. I was in for a treat . How genius to write a book this way. In the age of technology, everyone it seems has a Facebook page, so why not write a book looking at someone's life thru their Facebook page.
We begin with the lovely Dottie who is married and posting little tidbits about her life. Her life is going well till one dreadful day she discovers something about herself. She is PREGNANT ! Then the brilliant writing of the author takes us on a journey with Dottie via Facebook. Dottie describes her utter disgust of morning sickness and gaining weight. As I began to read the book, I noticed just like on Facebook how many likes she had for each post she made. Sometimes I was tempted to click on there to see who liked her post. That made me laugh as I remembered I was reading a book.
After giving birth, Dottie seems bliss for a few days, buy alas her posts begin to change. Having a baby is hard work as she soon discovers. The author takes us on a journey thru motherhood in a delightful, funny and quirky way. On many posts, Dottie refers to her child as monster as she clearly is not adjusting well to spit up, teething , temper tantrums and sleepless nights.
I was impressed that the author was able to write a book and keep readers interested by reading posts from someone's Facebook . She gives her character funny, frustrating , happy and challenging days that moms go thru . I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a book that has a unique style that keeps you intrigued till till the end.
