Critics Review
“Ironically–as Natasha hated breast feeding–this book is mother’s milk for mothers.” –Chelsea Peretti, comedian
“Ironically—as Natasha hated breast feeding—this book is mother’s milk for mothers.”
—Chelsea Peretti, comedian
“This is by far the funniest book I’ve ever read about parenting. If you have a child, you will die laughing. If you are childfree, you will laugh your ass off at everything you avoided by sticking to your guns about the true meaning of freedom.”
—Chelsea Handler, New York Times bestselling author of Life Will Be the Death of Me… and You Too!
“The only guide to motherhood after the apocalypse you’ll ever need. Deeply, darkly funny.”
—Ali Wong, New York Times bestselling author of Dear Girls
”[Natasha’s] essays shine with wit and warmth, turning an irreverent eye toward what the future may hold for the global warming generation.” —Washington Post
“In this irreverent debut… no topic is off-limits; Leggero bares all about ‘geriatric pregnancy,’ breastfeeding, parental anxiety, and her conversion to ‘Jew-by-choice’… this will induce grins from stand-up fans who’ve been missing shows because they can’t get a babysitter.”
—Publishers Weekly
