书籍介绍
Overworked and underappreciated, single mom Amy Byler needs a break. So when the guilt-ridden husband who abandoned her shows up and offers to take care of their kids for the summer, she accepts his offer and escapes rural Pennsylvania for New York City. Usually grounded and mild-mannered, Amy finally lets her hair down in the city that never sleeps. She discovers a life filled with culture, sophistication, and—with a little encouragement from her friends—a few blind dates. When one man, in particular, makes quick work of Amy’s heart, she risks losing herself completely in the unexpected escape, and as the summer comes to an end, Amy realizes too late that she must make an impossible decision: stay in this exciting new chapter of her life, or return to the life she left behind. But before she can choose, a crisis forces the two worlds together, and Amy must stare down a future where she could lose both sides of herself, and every dream she’s ever nurtured, in the beat of a heart.

I can see why this book is satisfying: basically every mellow doormat maltreated by life wants two bossy and well-meaning friends who are also super cool and in cahoots to push her to all those nice things, like a momspringa, a beauty transformation like that in The Devils Wears Prada, perfect sex, 2 men in love with her, and what not ...
一般般吧 人到中年 婚姻 孩子 自己的生活 幸福感 很难做到balance 不过follow your heart will be truly right anytime
The first half is basically whining, the second half mostly a fantasy made for moms... This sort of books spoils my appetite and makes me yearn for real serious reading.

质感非常美剧,准确的说非常Apple Tv,每个人都是one-liner大师,“剧情”如果砍掉几集也许更紧凑。但的确是今年读的最长久最投入的一本书,时而笑出声,偶尔捏紧拳头,从不停止感叹伟大的母亲在任何文化里都不容易。
As a mom, it’s natural to care ur children, but don’t forget yourself, and learn to hug life, to get more love, more friendship, more achievements, be brave
