Description
Celeste Mason is the Pinterest stay-at-home supermom of other mothers’ nightmares. Despite her all-organic, SunButter-loving, free-range kids, her immaculate home, and her volunteering awards, she still has time to relax with a nice glass of pinot at the end of the day. The only thing that ruins it all is her workaholic, career-obsessed neighbor, who makes no secret of what she thinks of Celeste’s life choices every chance she gets.
Wendy Charles is a celebrated productivity consultant, columnist, and speaker. On a minute-by-minute schedule, she makes the working-mom hustle look easy. She even spends at least one waking hour a day with her kids. She’s not apologizing for a thing. Especially to Celeste, who plays her superior parenting against Wendy whenever she can.
Who do Celeste and Wendy think they are? They’re about to find out thanks to one freaky week. After a neighborhood potluck and too much sangria, they wake up―um, what?―in each other’s bodies. Everything Celeste and Wendy thought they knew about the “other kind of mom” is flipped upside down―along with their messy, complicated, maybe not so different lives.

Ein wundervolles Buch, welches den „perfekten“ Lebensstil wunderschön auf den Arm nimmt und dabei charmant humorvoll ist. Gefühlvoll, echt und mitziehend wird über das Muttersein und die damit verbundenen gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen geredet. Es ist ein eher anspruchsvoller Schreibstil, der Zweifel beim Leser erwecken soll und das auch problemlos schafft. Beide Protagonisten erzählen abwechselnd beschreibend die Geschichte weiter und lassen dabei in ihre Gefühlswelt eintauchen. Es wird daher sehr emotional. Beide waren unglaublich verletzlich beim Erzählen und ich glaube fest daran, dass in jedem von uns ein bisschen Celeste oder Wendy steckt.
