How Hard Can it Be? by Allison Pearson

Allison Pearson gives us a crushing, soul searching, belly laughs at "Women Returners" - women who find themselves back in the chaotic workforce after the kids are grown & husbands are gone or unemployed or both. Kate has it all or had most of it but now her husband is out of work and the two kids don't need her as much as they used to so she decides that it is back to the fast pace financial world she left so many years before. It is not easy to deal with office politics, her husband's male menopause, and their teenage daughter's teenage behavior but she manages to keep it all together and look years younger (or attempt to look years younger and not be exhausted). This is just the book you need if you have a chaotic life, job, out of touch spouse, children or college reunion coming up or just need someone else share that you are not crazy and you are not alone. Two thumbs up for this one!
