Críticas
"Kaui Hart Hemmings is the master of heartfelt unsentimentality. Her third novel looks unflinchingly at the rewards and pitfalls of single motherdom in a culture obsessed with sanctimonious parenting. By her first Brazilian wax, you ll be rooting for the unscrupulous heroine to emerge victorious (and bushy!) from the Mommy Wars." Courtney Maum, author of "I Am Having So Much Fun Here Without You "" "How to Party With an Infant" is about moms and a few good (and not so good) dads but parenthood is by no means a prerequisite for loving this funny, honest and occasionally heartbreaking story of friends who earn the privilege of family. Kaui Hart Hemmings reminds us that we all feel like observers on the playground of life; the trick is to find someone fun to sit next to on the park bench. As they get to know each other, her characters endure all the stages of parenthood, from idealism to judgment to surrender. Their journey through competitive, tech-rich San Francisco pre-school scene is as treacherous as a ride down Lombard Street on a skateboard, and every bit as exhilarating. Elisabeth Egan, author of "A Window Opens"" In "How to Party with an Infant," Kaui Hart Hemmings has struck on the perfect recipe for a delicious, hilarious read about motherhood, love, loss, and Lululemon. With the irreverent raunch of Amy Schumer, the unsentimental maternal insight of Ayelet Waldman, and the culinary ebullience of Julia Child, protagonist Kali Bart skewers an anxious, overthinking tribe of San Francisco mommies who run in a momtourage, worship at the barre, and subject one another to catty scans daily. Anyone who has ever considered jumping from a window during a nursery school tour or longed for a pot brownie during a playdate will feel validated and hugely entertained by this quirky, occasionally bitter, occasionally sweet, and wholly original novel. Wednesday Martin, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Primates of Park Avenue""
Reseña del editor
How to Party With an Infant follows a quirky single mom who finds friendship and love in this smart, funny send-up of modern motherhood. When Mele Bart told her boyfriend Bobby she was pregnant with his child, he stunned her with an announcement of his own: he was engaged to someone else. Fast forward two years, Mele's daughter Ellie is a toddler, and Bobby and his fiancee want Ellie to be the flower girl at their wedding. Mele knows she can't continue obsessing about Bobby and his fiancee and needs something to do. So she answers a questionnaire provided by the San Francisco Mommy Club and decides to enter their cookbook writing contest. Even though she joined the group out of desperation, Mele has found her people: Annie, Barrett, Georgia, and Henry (a stay-at-home dad). How to Party with an Infant is a hilarious and poignant novel from Kaui Hart Hemmings, who has an uncanny ability to make disastrous romances and tragic circumstances not only relatable and funny, but unforgettable.
