How impressed are readers supposed to be by the stories of the author’s career? Apparently very, as the book seems more focused on her career than her relationship with her children and “the year of no do-overs.” She showed no sensitivity to the fact that many working mothers struggle much more than she has to in order to excel, or even survive in, their careers. Is the fact that she misses a school event because she is traveling internationally to interview a world leader more poignant than it would be because, say, she holds a second job to make ends meet?
