Many thanks to NetGalley and Berkley for gifting me a digital copy of the wonderful novel by Madi Sinha. I was a huge fan of White Coat Diaries and I loved this one too - 5 stars!
Dr Maya Rao is a gynecologist and mother of 3 young children, trying to do it all but never feeling like it's enough. When an encounter with an important patient goes wrong and she has to leave the hospital where she has spent her entire career, she feels lost. Amelia, another mother at the exclusive school where her oldest daughter attends, talks her into joining her practice of concierge medicine for wealthy clients. But Maya may have to sacrifice her values in order to do Amelia's bidding.
I loved this book - this would be the perfect book club selection for moms who are trying to do it all and feeling like a failure at every turn. Add to that this book's topics of colorism, classism, sexism - there's a lot to talk about! In addition, we see how culture and family background/expectations follow and change Maya's core. But she is so relatable - I'm not sure I've laughed harder at the car wash and cloth diaper scenes! This is definitely a must read book!
