Am I There Yet? A Journey through Marriage Motherhood and Miles of Minutiae edition by Alison Goldstein Lebovitz Humor Entertainment eBooks Reviews
I read this book recently while traveling through Southeast, and it was so accurate, funny, and revealing it actually occurred to me Alison Lebovitz might be reading my mind. The book is structured so each chapter can be read on its own, and that allowed me to flip around to chapter titles that caught my interest. The book begins as the author is preparing to marry, and ends after she has had her third child. I got the feeling she watches her family very carefully, and studies human behavior, and human emotions, like a scientist. The funniest chapters are without a doubt when she writes about her parents. If anyone has ever squirmed while their parents "whispered" about people around them in a restaurant, you'll be able to relate. If you want a laugh, and can stand a little corny anecdotal humor, this is a great book. I HIGHLY recommend.
After hearing Alison speak at a recent event in my community and reading excerpts online from the book, I knew I needed to buy a copy for myself. From page 1, I was hooked, and I finished the book in just 2 sittings. I quickly learned that her words resonate with me for a reason--what Alison puts down on paper are her experiences with some of the very thoughts that keep me up at night about my future. It was almost like looking forward into my own diary and having the reassurance that I WILL get through it when I'm in the same situation. I know this is one book I'll take off the shelf multiple times a year when I need the extra boost to get through a tough time. Buy a copy for your best friend, your sister, your mom---this is one book anyone would love as a gift!
Goldstein Lebovitz writes about her childhood, her adulthood, her family, and the bizarre situations that she finds herself in (like Saran Wrapping her boys in their bedrooms until she finds out how to delouse them after they are sent home from school infested), all of it peppered with light humor.
At first, the author's voice in this humor memoir was mildly odd, but as I kept reading I finally realized that what made her sound so strange is the very skill that makes her so good. She talks to you about her life as though you are an old friend, as though you know who these people are. And after the first few essays, you begin to feel like you do know who they are because you have people like this in your own life.
Possibly the greatest aspect of her work is the expected-yet-unexpected meme of the Jewish mom. When I originally read the back cover blurb I was left with a smug sense of judgment over her work. I was certain it was going to be just another comedic look at life in a Jewish household, rife with the typical jokes about nagging mothers-in-law and food, sprinkled here and there with a little Yiddish to make it credible. Instead, the author describes an unknown entity the Jewish family from the South.
I nearly cried while laughing at her description of missing high school football games and friends' parties because her family had to celebrate the Sabbath at her grandparents' house. She described being allowed to have friends over on Friday nights as long as those friends were willing to participate in the prayers and the dinner
"Friday night is the Jewish Sabbath. And God forbid I got out on the Sabbath--literally...Of course, when word got out to the general teenage population that spending Friday night at the Goldstein house required a minimum of praying and dinner with the entire extended family, we became social outcasts. Even the Jewish kids started avoiding our calls."
Fans who love the shock value-style humor of someone like Jenny Lawson or Jill Connor Brown will be disappointed, but those readers who simply want to hear someone tell a great story about situations we have all found ourselves in--even if we don't want to admit it--will thoroughly enjoy this book.

When one has known someone for a long time you can hear their voice as you read.
But you do not have to know Alison for a long time to appreciate the truth in her wonderful writing and humor!
I've already sent copies to our children!
This book belongs on every single table in every family doctor's/pediatrician's/ob-gyn's office. It should be in the take home basket of every mother leaving the hospital with her newborn. It will make you laugh, cry, laugh again, and marvel at the way Alison Goldstein Lebovitz captures marriage and motherhood with a dry wit, a genuine voice, and humor that is unmatched by any other voice to date, bar none.

Alison is the Erma Bombeck of the next generation (look it up if you don't know Erma Bombeck). She is funny and frank and insightful. She takes everyday event and holds them up to the light in ways that most people don't see. A great read and a great gift. It will remind you what a great gift is it to be alive and observant.
Alison is a wonderful writer. This book will be a joy to everyone who has the priviledge to own it and read it. This is a 5 star book
