Did My Love Life Shrink in the Wash by Kristen Bailey


I didn't realize this was part of a series but it reads like a standalone. And it's hilarious! 
Beth and long-term boyfriend Will are navigating the trials of pregnancy and new parenthood after a drunk night and a missed pill. Beth shares some of the more humiliating and awkward situations during childbirth. Then once baby Joe is born it becomes more like the movie Look Who's Talking as she shares what she thinks baby Joe is thinking.  But the less sleep Beth gets and the more hours Will puts in at his stressful job,  the farther they get apart. The awkwardness of her new body shape leaves her self-concious. When Will leaves them,  saying he needs a break,  things get a little darker but still with humorous moments. 
This was a quick read.  I found myself laughing out loud so many times! What a great and truthful picture of motherhood. 
Thank you to Kristen Bailey and Bookouture for the opportunity to read this book. I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. The views and opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.
