“Salted with insights and epigrams, the book is argued with bracing honesty and flashes of authentic wisdom…[an] excellent book.” ( —Andrew Solomon, The New York Times Book Review )

“Always generous in tone, Senior is a keen observer of the impact children have on their parents’ marriages, mental health, work, and social lives, and she makes deft use of social-science research...the book’s most useful contribution may be the connection it makes between joy...and, surprisingly, grief.” ( —The New Yorker )

“[An] astute book… clear and helpful… refreshing…an eye opening debut, and it will help a lot of parents feel less alone, if not less frazzled.” ( —Janet Maslin, The New York Times)

“An important book, much the way The Feminine Mystique was, because it offers parents a common language, an understanding that they’re not alone in their struggles, and an explanation of the cultural, political, and economic reasons for them.” ( —Christian Science Monitor )

“Jennifer Senior’s excellent new book… is not prescriptive. She doesn’t tell parents to be more mindful or drink more wine or neglect their kids; she just wants them to understand why they are always so stressed out.” ( —Hanna Rosin, Slate )

“A quick, lively read...[Senior’s] carefully observed case studies of modern families read like scenes from novels.” ( —San Francisco Chronicle )

“Senior’s wise compassion provides guidance that’s both necessary and inspiring.” ( —Boston Globe )
