This book is so atrocious, I feel dirty after finishing this. I understand this is about empowerment and blablabla. I really should stop getting my book suggestions from comments on random posts on the internet. I could have lived without the experience of reading this pile of shit which seemed to have dried on paper

I've been following crazyjewishmom on Instagram for a while now and it always makes me smile. I love both Kate's mortified reaction to her mom's comments and her mom's awesome off the cuff remarks. So when I saw (on Instagram) that a book was coming out, I put it on my wishlist. And Mother, Can You Not? did not disappoint. It was hilarious.

I read this book as a collection of quirky, hilarious stories that never failed to make me grin. For a while it was my companion in the bubble bath. Soon I found myself reading aloud some of the chapters to my own daughter and laughing with her. I even started recounting some of the stories to my girlfriends (who immediately reacted by saying, "Wait, who did this?").

Not only does she have a great sense of humour, Kate Siegel is a gifted writer. Her style is open and honest. I felt like I was listening to one of my girlfriends tell me about her quirky mom. And, of course, I finished the book thinking that these are MY kind of people. But more than that I very much enjoyed Kate's style as a writer. She has the kind of voice that draws the reader in (think Meg Cabot). I hope to see much more from her!

Mother, Can You Not? is the perfect book to gift a friend, share with a colleague or just treat yourself to. Highly recommend it!

Based on the wildly popular Instagram account @CrazyJewishMom, here is Kate Siegel's essay collection about life with the woman who redefined the term "helicopter mom". There is nothing more wonderful than a mother’s love. There is also nothing more annoying. From embarrassing moments to outrageous stories and hilarious celebrations, Siegel lovingly lampoons the lengths to which our mothers will go to better our lives. Laugh-out-loud funny!

The humor was forced. It felt as though mother and daughter felt they were on show and worked at being humorous. The humor failed for me. I didn't finish this book.
