A hilarious new book by Jen Mann is appearing in bookstores everywhere today. I read an advanced copy of it a month or so ago and loved it.

People I Want to Punch in the Throat: Competitive Crafters, Drop-Off Despots, and Other Suburban Scourges by Jen Mann

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I would hang out in the carpool line with Jen Mann any day. This collection of snarky stories made me laugh out loud. I felt like Mann had been looking over my shoulder during PTA fundraisers and poking fun at the the funny things we saw. Jen Mann’s take on the convoluted politics of PTA’s and play groups is hilariously spot on. She gives us a glimpse into the ridiculousness of mom’s groups and modern day Tupperware parties with the honesty only found in a true insider.

This would be a perfect book to keep in your tote to read while waiting in the car pool line or while your kids are at their many lessons.

This review originally appeared on Goodreads. I received an advanced copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
