The thing is though, these things are hard for everyone in different ways, and we sometimes have no idea what is really going on behind the scenes. When you add in friendships that can sometimes make you wonder “why does this feel so hard when everyone around me makes it look so easy?” it can be an easy path to thinking there is something wrong with you. The endless demands of parenthood, the amount of work it takes to keep a marriage humming along and also keeping up with the expectations of work can sometimes feel completely overwhelming.
All of these things are wonderful and they can also feel so incredibly hard. I connected so much with the storyline of being a mom, wife, and friend. I have always loved Camille Pagan’s relatable storytelling and this newest release is no different. As Penelope stares down the possible implosion of her marriage, she must ask herself: When it comes to love, is honesty really the best policy?” What seems like a smart idea quickly spirals out of control, revealing new rifts and even deeper secrets. So she and Sanjay agree to a radical proposal: both will write a list of changes they want each other to make-then commit to complete and total honesty. Reeling, Penelope vows to stop keeping the peace and finally deal with the issues in her relationship. Then a shocking tragedy reveals that Jenny’s life is far from perfect. As close as the two women are, Jenny’s passionate marriage, pristine house, and ultra-polite child stand in stark contrast to Penelope’s underemployed husband, Sanjay, their unruly brood, and the daily grind she calls a career.
Meanwhile, her best friend, Jenny Sweet, appears to be sailing through life. Penelope Ruiz-Kar is doing it all-and barely keeping it together. I’m Fine and Neither Are You by Camille Pagan was my Amazon First Reads March 2019 book selection.
