review 1: Despite the fact that I won't be having kids, I somehow find myself reading parenting books if they're penned by a celebrity. I guess I'm just a weirdo. I've been re-watching Blossom lately, which prompted me to see if Mayim had ever written a book. (Celebrity books are definitely a guilty pleasure of mine.) I was disappointed that she had but it was a parenting book, however I decided to read it anyway. This was a surprisingly easy read. I don't really agree with everything she said, but I applaud her for sticking to her guns on such a controversial topic. I wish she had talked more about her life before kids, though! Is it too much to ask for some Blossom gossip?
review 2: Easy to read. Written in a conversational, self deprecating and non judgmental tone. Bi
... morealik explains attachment parenting in broad strokes but also offers many specific ideas and anecdotes on how to succeed with AP. An interesting read but her own AP philosophies seem to be on the far end of the spectrum... By the time I finished reading it I felt like I just read a cautionary tale of taking AP too seriously or maybe of marrying the wrong guy. Descriptions of her now ex-husband gave me pause and left me scratching my head as to why they were together. less

I did enjoy this book. I wished though, it was a bit more in-depth on most of the aspects of AP.

It was a decent read after a 3am feeding and you can't get back to sleep.
