Book Review of Amy's Answering Machine: Messages from Mom

Amy's Answering Machine: Messages from Mom
Bookfanatic avatar reviewed on
Helpful Score: 1


Funny and charming! These are the real life answering machine messages left by Amy's very overprotective mother who frets constantly about her daughter's health, love life, and well-being. The messages are comical. For example, Mom warns Amy about wearing certain colors while she's walking down the hallway to throw her trash in the trash chute because she could be mistaken for a gangster. She tries valiantly to make sure Amy is aware of every possible danger out there in the world no matter how remote the possibility that said danger would affect her daughter. I enjoyed this book so much I don't think I can part with it.
