Hex Education af Emily Gould
While the red herring and the real evil witch aren't difficult to figure out, this is a fun read with some dialogue that would make you spit coffee all over the place if you were reading it at the time.
The chick-litt-iest book I've read in a while. Enjoyable enough, for a book about motherhood, not too wholesome and enough cynicism.
This book threw me for a loop in the best possible way. While it starts with a story about a young musician with lots of hope and dreams, tragedy hits. It takes on a raw and powerful look at motherhood and the sacrifices women make for their children. While I am not a huge music person, I connected with both these characters and the storyline and really enjoyed this one.

2-1/2 stars, really. This is one of those books that made me feel old. The protagonists, Bev and Amy are 30, living in NYC, and avoiding adulthood. Renting lofts and bouncing around temp jobs and various tech pseudo jobs where they get paid to Gchat and tweet, the two women are usually a paycheck away from eviction or couch surfing. Their ambivalence about this and their lack of direction is what makes me feel old. Their friendship is charming, even enviable as they are so sympatico, yet often brutally honest with each other. However, when the friendship is tested by adult circumstances (unplanned pregnancy), then things begin to unravel. A subplot develops with an older, childless woman who is interested in part-time motherhood (whatever that is!) While I generally liked the 2 main characters, I just couldn't relate.… (mere)
