Mommy Tracked

Just finished this mom lit offering by Whitney Gaskell. Amusing account of four women, some married, all with kids. I appreciated the rotating point of view among the four moms. Each had their own issues which they (of course) solved by the last page. Breezy, easy and entertaining.

Falling Out of Fashion

I had to read this book by Karen Yampolsky for my book group. On the cover it said, "If you liked Devil Wears Prada, you'll love this book!" That was a big of a stretch. About the only thing the two books have in common is having the fashion industry as the backdrop. Otherwise, the two books couldn't be more different. Falling Out of Fashion featured a likeable magazine editor who was trying to save her magazine from the media conglomerate that bought it. Nothing really interesting happened in this book, and there was absolutely nothing to discuss.
