I loved The Overdue Life of Amy Byler by @kelly.harms and I jumped at the chance to read her upcoming book. The Seven Day Switch is the story of Celeste, a stay at home mom, and Wendy, a working mom with her own business. The two clash from day one. After drinking too much sangria at a neighborhood get together, the pair wakes up the next morning hungover and in each other’s body. Adult Freaky Friday! So many emotions while reading...I laughed and cried and laughed some more! Kelly Harms has wri...
Stay at home mom (SAH) Celeste and business owner/working mom Wendy end up in each other’s bodies after drinking too many sangrias one night. These moms could not be more different, not just in their choice of career, but also in their choice of husbands, child-rearing methods and lifestyle. Celeste bakes cupcakes for every school event, sews her daughter clothes, packs gourmet homemade lunches, cooks healthy dinners every night, keeps chore charts and is signed up for every committee there is.
I liked this book but in general it was kind of woman hating even if the message was not to be woman hating. It reads like someone telling a sexist joke and saying geez it's just a joke. We shouldn't be telling those jokes - especially in the kind of book aimed at the people being dunked on. Tired stereotypes and themes. Also... I don't believe the author has ever breastfed a child over the age of one nor do I believe she knows anyone who did.
Celeste Mason and Wendy Charles may be neighbours with daughters who are friends, but Celeste and Wendy aren't friends, not at all.Wendy is a stick-thin mother of two and businesswoman, married to a handsome sculptor. Celeste is a stay-at-home mom with three children and a balding husband in insurance. Wendy never has enough hours in the day, her kids are used to eating frozen meals and take-outs, she has an enormous mortgage and resents being mommy-shamed by Celeste. Celeste, on the other hand,...
In this corner: Wendy Charles: a mother, wife, and business owner who is running around like a chicken with her head cut off but making it look effortless. What she really is: Utterly exhausted. In this corner: Celeste Mason: stay at home mom, cupcake baking, all organic, Pinterest extraordinaire appears to be living a pampered life. What she really is: Lonely. Enter Mommy Wars. After they both indulge in an evening of Sangria and bitter comments barbed at one another they wake up the next morni...
freaky friday meets ABCs wife swap in this suburban magical realism story.im not married and i dont have kids, so im pretty sure im not in the intended audience for this book, but i could still appreciate the message of the story. i like that it shows there is no one correct way to parent and that everyone is just doing the best they can with what they have. i also like the theme of women supporting and learning from other women. i will say that i wish there was more diversity with the switch. b...
While the book seemed to be trying to make a point about mom-shaming, the only mom who was really shamed was Celeste for being a homemaker. How dare she make healthy food and sew her daughter's clothes and engage her children's minds! Bah! Wendy barely apologized for basically just being hateful 98% of the book but that was fine because she had a terrible husband, I guess. Celeste was never given room to be proud of her choices- the book did make a clumsy attempt to make her proud for wanting to...
The Seven Day Switch is what I call a light and fluffy palate cleanser. It is about two polar opposite moms who end up in a body swap. Celeste is a SAH overachiever mom married to a unicorn husband while Wendy is a successful productivity consultant who has a hectic schedule between work, her kids and her slacker husband. Needless to say, they are as different as night and day.The premise is definitely not original and although I didn't love it, I also didn't dislike it. It was just OK. There is...
A new book from Kelly Harms each summer is something I’m getting used to! The Seven Day Switch is about two very different moms switching places. If you’ve seen Freaky Friday, it reminded me a little of that fun movie! This book made me laugh several times, and it’s poignant, too. Celeste and Wendy learn a few lessons along the way, and I loved their growth as characters.This is another fun and warmhearted read by Kelly Harms!I received a gifted copy. Many of my reviews can also be found on my b...
Are working moms and stay-at-home moms really so different? Freaky Friday re-telling via Working Mom vs. Stay at Home Mom? Yes Please! I was drawn to this book because of the author and because I have been both a working mom and a stay at home mom and let me tell you...both are hard...very, very hard. Being a mom is hard, raising kids is hard. My two are grown and are thriving members of society and it has nothing to do with whether I stayed home or not. I loved this book becaus
