Confessions of a Domestic Failure

by Bunmi Laditan

[lovelybookshelf]

Laditan's fiction debut about a mother struggling with self-judgment and impossible expectations is part social commentary and a whole lot of slapstick comedy. The synopsis calls the main character a "hot mess" and wow, that portrayal is over the top. The humor wore down quickly, like a joke that would.not.end. I almost DNF'd halfway though, but then the story started moving and I enjoyed it to the end. Fun read when you're craving brain candy.
