Today Will Be Different: From the bestselling author of Where'd You Go, Bernadette

by Maria Semple

Eleanor Flood knows she's a mess. But today will be different. Today she will shower and put on real clothes. She will attend her yoga class after dropping her son, Timby, off at school. She'll see an old friend for lunch. She won't swear. She will initiate sex with her husband, Joe. But before she can put her modest plan into action - life happens.

For today is the day Timby has decided to pretend to be ill to weasel his way into his mother's company. It's also the day surgeon Joe has chosen to tell his receptionist - but not Eleanor - that he's on vacation. And just when it seems that things can't go more awry, a former colleague produces a relic from the past - a graphic memoir with pages telling of family secrets long buried and a sister to whom Eleanor never speaks.

Reviews

[Amber (The Literary Phoenix)]

I liked this one, but I think it really needs to be appreciated as a whole. Like [b:Where'd You Go, Bernadette|13526165|Where'd You Go, Bernadette|Maria Semple|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1338822317s/13526165.jpg|17626728], I found myself frustrated with the pacing and with Eleanor until it was all pulled together at the end. Love the quirky style, though. Maria Semple will be an always-read author for me.

A spoiled, rich woman doesn't treat the people in her life very nicely.
