Wine in my Sippy Cup, by Deborah Dove

With this book I took a break from historical fiction to indulge in a guilty pleasure. A fun, light, easy-to-read comedy.

Wine in my Sippy Cup is a light-hearted memoir, written in first person, of a thirty-something ex-career woman turned stay-at-home mother who finds herself smack dab in the middle of an identity crisis.

Surrounded by three close friends, we feel her frustration, her doubt, as she runs into an ex, tries to create a new "identity", and struggles with the changes in her marriage. The book is light, witty, and very funny in a "corny" way. It is just what the doctor ordered on this damp and dreary late winter weekend.

While some of the stories seem "too funny", you have to take the story for what it is. Comedy. Humor. Entertainment. I loved the break from reality. Or into reality, depending on the day!
