Thanks to Netgalley and Henry Holt and Co for this digital ARC in exchange for an honest review. I was a huge fan of Class Mom and was excited to see the continued saga.

In the sequel to Class Mom, Jen Dixon is yet again roped into being class mom for her son Max’s 3rd grade class. New and old characters are back with Jen snarky as ever! Her emails continue to say exactly what many parents think in her non filtered emails.

Unlike the first novel Jen is wrapped up more in her family life - husband Ron wanting to expand to more franchises with Ron clipping coupons and cutting costs, becoming friends with Rolly & Janine in hopes they’ll invest in Ron’s expansion, desiring to become more of her 20 somethings daughters’ lives while getting a shock when she does.

I did enjoy the novel, but I always have a hard time enjoying sequels. It did keep me engaged, but I found myself cringing more than laughing on this second time around.

As with her first book, Class Mom, Laurie Gelman did not disappoint with her follow up book You’ve Been Volunteered! These books are filled with such humor and reality! I laughed out loud during both but this follow up really was full of humor, sarcasm, reality of life with children and jobs and school, etc. The main character Jen says things most mins would love to say but would never have the guts to! If you can’t handle sarcasm and humor this book is truly not for you because it is filled with it!

The author of Class Mom strikes again in You've Been Volunteered!

After an unceremonious firing and a year off, Jen Dixon is once again a Class Mom - this time for Third Grade! And, there's a new twist this year; Jen is in charge of the Safety Patrol, a mandatory activity for fifth graders and their parents.

Balancing school volunteer activities, while keeping tabs on her aging parents, worrying about expanding their business, trying to maintain a relationship with her older daughters and caring for her husband and son, makes for a whirlwind school year. Courting potential new business investors, including a fun couple who may, or may not, want to swing adds a whole new dimension.

I absolutely loved this book, and would highly recommend it to everyone.

In the interest of full disclosure, I received a free digital copy of this title to review from Net Galley.

I loved loved loved Laurie Gelman's Class Mom so I was beyond excited when I saw the follow up to it on netgalley! I love Jenn Dixon and feel like I have an inner Jenn! I think we all need an inner Jenn Dixon! This book was literally laugh out loud throughout! I loved it!

I look forward to reading more from Laurie!!! This is a  MUST READ!!!!!

Ahhhh I effing LOVE Jen Dixon! Just like the first book, I was laughing out loud OFTEN (and in public)! I really enjoyed the combination of kid drama and adult drama. I didn't really care for the daughters in this book to be honest, their stories seemed a little annoying but it was fine. I loved Jen and her friendships/toils with the other moms and her new friends. My feelings for Ron were definitely on par with Jen's, sometimes I thought he was amazing and then I was like WTF ARE YOU DOING? Ahhhh. Anywho, I really enjoyed this book and I and crossing my fingers and toes for another Class Mom novel because they're so damn fun to read!

I had LITERALLY just finished Class Mom days earlier when I saw the sequel on Net Galley. I loved Class Mom, but I don't always love sequels- it can be difficult to live up to an original. This book, fortunately, did just that, and in my humble opinion, was ACTUALLY funnier than the original. I love Jen Dixon. I just GET her, and feel as though she is my spirit animal. I had moments of truly laughing out loud, which is rare for me. The books are so well written, and almost conversational. I adore the writing. I have my fingers crossed that this won't be the last time we hear the voice of such a fabulous character!!

I absolutely adored Laurie Gelman's first book, Class Moms and I 'm over the moon to be reviewing the sequel to this hilarious book. This second book is even funnier than the first one and I enjoyed it even more than Class Moms.

This sequel is a continuation of Jen's story but it's new, fresh, and different, and that's what makes it so good. We know to expect tons of laughs and hilarity, but Jen continues to grow and evolve in this story as much as the first. Jen has plenty of entertaining situations with school, but this book also focuses on another major element of her world: Jen's family members. I enjoyed getting to know them through Jen's eyes.

It's challenging to write a sequel, but Laurie Gelman knocks this one out of the park and I loved it. What I wanted from this book is to feel the way that Class Moms made me feel, and I definitely got it. The good news is that you don't have to read the first book to dive into this one. It's laugh-out-loud funny as a standalone.

When I heard that there was a second book by Laurie Gelman I knew I had to read it! I loved Class Mom but I really loved You’ve Been Volunteered. Jen Dixon is back and this year her son is in third grade. This year it seems even more challenging for Jen, from helping her older daughters, her husband’s constant working, her parents, and being roped into volunteering even more at school, Jen tries to keep everything under control and the outcome is hilarious.

Make sure to pick this one up this summer, and if you haven’t read Class Mom go grab that one as well. There is something for everyone in Gelman’s books.

I loved Class Mom and was excited to see that there is a sequel. I love how relatable the main character is and her sense of humor. Read this book in one day. Definitely would recommend to all my mom friends out there with kids in school because I think they will get a kick out of it as well.

Guess who’s back? Back again…. Tell a friend….. I was thrilled to see a sequel to Laurie Gelmen’s “Class Mom.” It’s impossible to get enough of her snarky humor and clever take on the school politicking and expectations of the responsibility that parents and class moms have to take on. This book is so relatable for a mom! I loved the reference to the Signupgenius and her use of snarky emails to the class even assigning a co-mom “Mandy Idon’tgiveacrap.” And of course the return of Jen’s family and Ron’s Gym and Tan. This is a MUST READ for any mom with school-age kids.

Loved this book! Class Mom was one of my favorite books I read last year so I was thrilled to see there was a sequel! Just like Class Mom, this kept me laughing out loud the entire time. You’ve Been Volunteered was just as cute and funny as the first. A great sequel and I hoped there’s a third!

I received a complimentary e-book copy of this book from Henry Holt and Co. through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you to Laurie Gelman, Henry Holt and Co., and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.

This book TOTALLY cracked me up and was JUST what I needed!! It was just as funny as the first book so I was so happy to read this great second book in the series.

I really hope that the author continues this series as it touches my funny bone being a Room Parent like Jen. But, I never sent emails like hers, but wish that I did.

Definite recommend, but read the FIRST book in the series before reading this one!!

This was a fun book! I actually liked it more than I liked Class Mom. Gelman is really funny and Jen, her narrator, is very relatable. This is exactly what it appears to be- a light, funny read that will keep you engaged and smiling.

Laurie Gelman is funny and I don't mean "mommy blogger funny", I mean honestly audibly laugh-out-loud funny. While it is an easy and fun read, that doesn't mean that its fluff. It truly hits on what it means to be a mom with kids of any ages, little or grown, in 2019. While this book references her first book, Class Mom, you don't need to read them in order (I didn't), it stands on its own as well. However now that I have experienced the life and times of the main character, Jen Dixon, I will definitely check out Class Mom.

This was a warm, lighthearted read that is relatable and, at times, laugh-out-loud funny. Jen Dixon's signature snark that we have missed is back! I found this story arc a bit flatter than Class Mom.... there wasn't one true driving force for the plot, but many small stories occurring simultaneously in Jen's life. It is real, relatable, but occasionally predictable. I enjoyed this very much.

Great follow-up book. Witty and funny. I think so many people can relate to these books and will prob keep coming back for more!

Laugh out loud funny!

I loved Class Mom and was beyond excited when I learned there would be a second book in the series. You've Been Volunteered didn't disappoint! It was just (or maybe even more) hysterical than the first book. Well written and witty I couldn't put the book down. I am just hoping there will be more books featuring the antics of Jen Dixon in the future! After all, it isn't everyday you feel like a character could be your BFF!

Funny! This book was hilarious. I enjoyed every page. It was a quick read, but had good character development and storeyline. I vote for a sequel to this sequel.

Jen is back!! Not only is she class mom again, but had taken on a new job as safety patrol coordinator. I really enjoyed this sequel, more than the first book. It was really funny and a very quick read.

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC.

This book was just as witty and humorous as Class Mom. The story of Jen Dixon continues in this quick read that takes your right back into Jen's life. If you enjoyed the author's first book with these characters then this next book is just for you. Easy, quick read that any PTO/PTA mom can relate too.
