I can’t be distracted while reading this book because I don’t want to miss a word Kate says!

Kate is pushing 50, dealing with her daughter’s “belfie” (butt-selfie), returning to the workforce now that her kids are teenagers by shaving 7 years off her age à la the t.v. show “Younger”, remodeling a house, dealing with aging parents and a cycling-obsessed husband who has shaved off all his body hair and gone back to school to pursue his dream. She has so much going on as all women do, and she is handling it with as much aplomb as possible and a whole lot of humor!

I am so glad the character of Kate Reddy is back in action. She is one of the most relatable characters in women's fiction. And although some additional familiar faces are around from I Don't Know How She Does It, this How Hard Can It Be could be read completely as a standalone and enjoyed just as much.

As a woman of 42 (Kate's pretend age in the book) I highlighted more passages in this book than any other I have ever read. Highly recommend!

Put it on your To Read List - from St. Martin’s Press June 5th!
