I found this book an extreme disappointment. The book is an exact replica of her blog only she charges $25 to read. Another facet I found particularity annoying, was the use of capital letters on almost every page - YOU DON'T NEED TO CAPITALIZE EVERY PHRASE TO EMPHASIZE YOUR POINT. Real authors use creative writing to reach out to the reader, not in your face typeset. Please save your money and just visit the website if you really want to read this book.
I bought this book mostly because I grew up with Heather, but ended up appreciating it for other reasons.I have a picture of her at one of my birthday parties (sixth, I'm guessing), but I don't think we were too close. We did a 4th grade science project together that got urinated on by some stupid kid that didn't appreciate science. She always won the 4-H speech contest and every time I hear about Nathan Hale, I remember Heather because I still remember her speech about him. She always had a way with words. At our ten year high school reunion, she was pregnant with Leta but not obvious enough that you'd dare say anything, and I was also pregnant with my son, also not obvious enough that you'd say anything. I don't think either of us had a clue what post-partum depression was at that point. But we both learned.Leta is about two weeks younger than my son. I not only can identify with so much of what Heather writes, but I can actually hear her as she says it because I've known her since kindergarten. And I get it. Our experiences are not the same, but they are similar enough. I have had struggles different from hers in some ways, but very much the same in other ways. We have both dealt with PPD. Mine migrated into something else that had to be dealt with in an entirely different way. But it was just as serious and required hospitalization. And I'm still not recovered.I really love this book. When I read it, I can actually hear Heather speaking the words. The way she writes articulates her style; her feelings are something I'm able to identify with.I continue to follow her blog. The fact that our children are almost the exact same age is cool because I can compare what's going on with Leta to what's going on with Elliot. And I can identify with a fellow parent who didn't exactly fall into being a parent like it was the most natural thing in the world. Sounds great, but that's not real life, folks.
There are several people whose primary complaints about this book are her overuse of all capital letters (she does a lot of that, but it didn't bother me too badly...I guess it just depends on personal preferences), the fact that she talks about "eating" her baby, how she whines about not having time to pluck her eyebrows, the book is jumpy, and she says terrible things about her daugher.First of all, the references to "eating" her child are clearly a figurative way of referring to how adorable she finds her baby, for those that don't understand figurative expressions. She is clearly not literally referring to basting her child in a chablis butter sauce and letting her roast to a perfect juicy inside so that she may be consumed with a side of mushroom medley.Second, she barely mentions not having time to pluck her eyebrows, so who cares? Most new mothers don't. She mentions it once, she doesn't spend any time lamenting about it. And yes, the book can be a bit jumpy. Heather is not Tolstoy, nor has she claimed to be. Let us remember that she is a humor/mommy blogger not a serious literary figure. Cut her a break. She still writes pretty damn well for the genre.And the "terrible" things she says about her daughter? They are few and far between, but most importantly, they are JOKES. Not only that, they are HONEST, and possibly quite accurate descriptions of what new mothers experience. I would like to think that Leta will have an understanding of exactly what her mom meant someday if she decides to have her own children. I don't see how being realistic about both the frustrations and triumphs of motherhood are supposed to be so damaging to offspring. It's so silly to pretend like many mothers don't also experience negative emotions after having given birth for the first time, what's so wrong with expressing them? By being honest, she is able to open doors for others to feel less shamed if they are anything but elated after becoming first time parents. I don't see the harm in that.Now on to my personal feelings on the book. I have to admit there were times that I felt slightly annoyed at alllll her complaining (trust me, there is a lot of it in the book). Particularly with her "everything under the sun that could be uncomfortable about pregnancy has happened to me times 1,000" which seem to constitute the first few chapters. However, it was important to remind myself that this is in fact a humor book, and humor books are often over-dramatized for effect. Being a sufferer of depression and anxiety myself, I also found myself thinking, in the chapters after the birth of her baby, that possibly having a real job which required her to work outside of the home might have been a good thing for her. It seems she had nothing else to focus on other than her feelings and rearing this baby, and sometimes not having other involvements is what can make depression exponentially worse. I found myself rolling my eyes a few times and thinking "ok Heather, cry me a river. You've got all these postpartum issues, but the silver lining is you get to deal with them WITHOUT having to worry about rushing back to a full time job when your baby is about 3 months old like a lot of women! You get to sit home and spend practically every minute with your baby for as LONG as you'd like. Cry when your baby is eight weeks old and you're forced to leave her in a daycare for 40 hours a week." Those were really the only parts that irked me.The book overall, was a wonderful chronicle of feelings that can occur before, during, and after first time pregnancy, that are so very real to so many women. Heather does it in a funny way that is also balanced with a lot of heart felt commentary that is also completely relatable. I personally love that she wrote this book. If it were just a sad tale of postpartum depression, it would have been unbearable to read. But because it is balanced with humor and raw feelings, it is much easier to stomach. You get the sense by the end of the book that she truly believes motherhood is one of the best things she ever did, not that she regrets it in any way. I'm personally a fan of her ability to bring such common experiences and emotions to the forefront, as opposed to women only being allowed to sing the praises of new motherhood. In our society, it's an adjustment. It can be rough. It is both a physical, emotional, and lifestyle transition. I appreciated Heather's wit and gumption. The book was a little whiny, a little annoying at times, but the times when it was honest and touching far outweigh the former. A fun, quick, heart warming read for anyone who's either had a baby, considering having one at some point, or never even plans to have kids and wants to regale in the ridiculousness that comes with the treacherous territory of motherhood. Overall, for what it was, I enjoyed it.
