I'm on the fence about this book. It was funny and well written, but somehow- to me anyway- the ultimate message seemed to be that women in fact can't have it all. They are designed to be nurturers to both their husbands and their children.

I first heard about this book on NPR during an interview with the author. Since then, I've been wanting to read it and was delighted to receive it as a gift from a dear friend.

Better than average chicklit (women's fiction) novel. In spite of juggling two young children, a (sometimes) surly nanny, a lay-about husband, and a demanding career (not to mention a cyber-romance with a client), Kate Reddy is a survivor. Not a epic literature, but enjoyable nonetheless. Career-women striving to find that balance between work and family will relate to Kate and her battles.

Amusing look at a highly successful career woman who is also a working mother.

This was a fun book about a mother who needs to do it all. Something that i think many woman can relate to. I was once told that the idea of multi-tasking is simply that. an idea. It\'s actually impossible for your brain to focus on more than one thing at a time, yet multi-tasking is increasingly becoming one of the most needed characteristics for any job. This book goes into that in a fun, enjoyable way.

Very funny book, easy to read, a great beach book.

Not as pithy or humorous as I would have liked, but still good. Especially enjoyable was the characters ability to find herself in over her head (think Bridget Jones, but not as funny). Overall though, she had some interesting things to say about working moms vs. working dads, and I for one agreed.

Very British. Kate is a full time executive in a male dominated industry with two small kids. She struggles to balance her home life and her work life all while trying to keep a cast of extended family characters happy. Cute, Bridget Jones all grown up.

Sort of a Bridget Jones except she's a married working mum of 2. She's torn between work and home. Her love life threatened by her work life. Moments of very familiar chaotic hilarity nicely balanced with moments of bittersweet introspection and self realization. Nice tale.

Such a good book! Very funny, touching moments as well.

Pearson perfectly captures the dilemma of the working mother with flair and humor.

When I went back to work after the birth of my first child, I read a lot of these working-mom-makes-good books. You know, the ones that set out to show you that you're not the only one to show up at a client meeting with a spit-up stain on her suit jacket, or to have bags under the bags under her eyes from trying to juggle home and a career. In my opinion, though, this is the best of the bunch.

I Don't Know How She Does It hit home for me because the heroine shares my industry (public relations/advertising). The novel is set in England so some of the language and pop culture references are a little off, but its a great story of a mom finding herself without losing herself.

Plus, it's hysterical. Highly recommended for any mom who gnashes her teeth when some well meaning person asks her just how she does it...

I have never quite read a book list this. It was partly written in diary entry form but mostly the reader got an endless brain dump from the main character. The climax was anti-climatic.

The book was fun and funny at times. It was a bit dramatic and somewhat whiny.

LOVE THIS BOOK!! I really identified with Kate. I easily saw myself and others in her. I laughed and cried and laughed again. What a rollercoaster!

If you're a mom who works full-time, read this book! It's nice to read about someone else's problems with a job, small children, a husband and just trying to find at least a small amount of time for yourself.

I don't know how I was able to finish it. If you are a chick-lit fan, then you will enjoy this book. Although it was a very quick read, I did not find it the storyline enjoyable.

Funny

Great read!

Very funny story!
