Book Reviews

"In this era of angry, stupid snark masquerading as 'humor', Roshell is a happy, ruthless, insightful breath of fresh air. It is this humor/humility combo that makes Roshell not just a funny writer, but an important funny writer. Roshell understands what's wrong with us, because it's wrong with her, too." (Grade: A)

Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez @ Write. Live. Repeat. Sunday Book Review


"Roshell's writing is clever and witty, smart and irreverent. She's an honest voice for mothers who always love their kids but may not always like them. She's feminist but still feminine. She writes about the things I would talk about with my girlfriends over lattes if I, like most busy women, ever actually had time to do that."

— Nona Nelson @ the Roanoke Times

"I lost all my stress knots laughing out loud at images conjured up by Starshine's columns. I like her sassy commentary, even when it makes me blush! You will too!"

— Parmalee @ SantaCruzParent.com

"I thought I would sample the book a moment while waiting for my sick kids to be seen by the doctor, and I had a hard time putting it down! Starshine is funny, witty and a down-in-the-trenches type mom that makes the everyday happenings of parenthood laughable and insightful."

— Michele @ CVParent.com
