9.4.2021 - Mom Jeans and Other Mistakes

Mom Jeans and Other Mistakes by Alexa  Martin

Many thanks to NetGalley and Berkley Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest novel by Alexa Martin - 4.5 stars for a great read!

Jude and Lauren have been best friends since grade school.  Jude is a popular Instagram influencer, stressing her Pilates workouts and looks.  Lauren is much more serious and is a single mom to 5-year-old Adelaide.  When both fall on hard times, they decide to move in together.  When Lauren's custody of Addy is threatened, Jude helps her begin a mommy podcast. 

This would be the absolute perfect book for a mom's book club because it's just filled with all the things you need to hear when you are in the throes of parenting.  But it also delves into parent/adult child relationships, friendships, racism and women supporting each other.  Throw in some humorous situations, a touch of romance and flawed but adorable characters (Addy!) and you have a winner!
