Definitely entertaining ! The author has captured very well the different facets of the character's life using a writting that makes you feel how hectic her life is. I especially loved reading about how she was approaching her male colleagues trying to find excuses for her late arrivals without mentioning a sick baby-sitter or a baby with toothaches ! Every woman can recognize herself at one point as she deals with her mother, father, sisters, colleagues, husband, kids, friends ... You've been there one day for sure ! This is a piece of candy and I really loved it ! Enjoy !

I thought the"shopaholic" novels were soooooo funny, till I read "I Don't Know How She Does It". It was so funny, I kept telling my husband parts of it, which he also enjoyed (and he totally will only read non-fiction books). I can't wait till she writes a second novel.

I eventually got out of bed at 12 midday - determined to finish this marvellous book. I laughed and I cried in equal measure and recognised myself (also a mother of two - one boy and one girl, now full grown and gone!). Sometimes I saw myself as something of a hybrid - part muffia and part "wannabee someone else/somewhere else" Reading this book is like unpacking a treasure chest. Already I want to read it again to savour the things that maybe I missed the first time around. Thank you Allison Pearson. You have the most wonderful gift. Somehow you manage to put into words the things that the rest of us can only think and feel.
