Does This Volvo Make My Butt Look Big?: Thoughts for moms and other tired people Paperback – January 28, 2017

She is so funny and find her so relatable and it’s just really nice to hear honesty from a mom

Chuckled through it... mom insights all can attest to.

I spent a very enjoyable day popping in and out of Annabel Monaghan's life. Her observations on motherhood, marriage, and all things family related rang true -- and her honesty made me laugh and think. My favorite description was of her teenage son, who knew every stat on every NBA player, but had no idea "it was a thing" that if he left the chicken out of the fridge all night, it would go bad. Somehow that really summed up both the joy and the frustration of raising children. Although I know it would have made Ms. Monaghan a different mother in some ways, I kind of wished she had a daughter too, so I could have heard her reflections on the issues specific to raising girls. The bottom line is that Ms. Monaghan makes you feel that if you parent with a lot of good will and an enormous sense of humor, you will be fine, and your kids probably will too!

This is one of the most hilarious books that I have ever read!!! It is a collection of essays about carpooling, holidays, little league and so many other subjects!! You will laugh thru the entire book!!!!

Hard to rank a book that’s a collection of essays, but I’d say it’s a quick easy read with relatability and light humor

I bought this book because II loved the author's YA books, Digit and Double Digit. However, I'm not so big on books that share mommy woes, which was what I thought this was about. Well, yes, there are some mommy woes here, but it's hilarious. I've been laughing my butt off for hours. If you want to read something that's honest and will make you laugh tears, get this book. It's absolutely brilliant.

Funny look at motherhood thought a families school years.Very entertaining. I found myself nodding in agreement on a number of occasions. I would recommend this book.

LOVED this book so much. She had me at the title, Does This Volvo Make My Butt Look Big?. The collection of essays for mothers “and other tired people” makes me laugh out loud and shake my head with recognition. From birthday party throwing etiquette to what summer vacation tans really look like, it’s a nice respite from our holiday madness. It also includes a forward from one of my favorite authors, Lee Woodruff, whom Annabel knows. Jealous!
