Magazine
"Paesel tells it like it is, with an irresistible blend of good
humor, painful anxieties, including the agonies of childhood illnesses,
and offbeat advice. This is a must for hip new moms."
Elle Magazine's August Must Read
"In Mommies Who Drink, actress Brett Paesel breezily and
comically clears the notably modest bar set for her by Warner Books, which
calls her voice “as real and poignant as those found in the very
best commercial women’s fiction.”… What’s pleasurable
about Paesel is her self-deprecating, sometimes raunchy wit and her nonjudgmental
attitude toward her peers…Paesel, unlike other recent mother-writers
of note, actually seems to like women."
Entertainment Weekly ‚ 50 Hot Summer Picks
"The Mr. Show actress writes about the eternal challenge
of balancing motherhood, drinking, and having sex. It gets
our vote for one of the summer's best titles."
PEOPLE Magazine‚
Listed as one of the "Summers' Hottest Reads"
Boston Globe
"...honest, affectionate, and smartly written...a welcome antidote
to every serious pregnancy and child-rearing guide out there...raunchy,
real, and laugh-out-loud funny."
BUST Magazine
"Presented with dry wit and touching epiphanies, Mommies Who Drink
is a testament to both raising kids and celebrating one's self in a chaotic
world."
Washington Post
"...reaches 'Seinfeld'-ian heights"
Los Angeles Times
"What saves her isn't drinking, it's good friends and a sense of
humor."
Winnipeg Free Press
"It's the kind of writing that leaps out in short, smart bursts of
creativity... raw and to the point... very, very funny."
Brain, Child Magazine
"...funny, engaging prose...If you read Operating Instructions and
liked it but wanted less Jesus and more drinking, Paesel serves it up
well."
Salisbury Post
"Paesel is bold and earthy and graphic and extremely funny."
-
Edmonton Journal
"The author brings refreshing honesty and spunk to the crowded realm
of mommy lit. "
Edge Magazine
"...a bracing mix of the sweet and the shocking."
Women's Wear Daily
"...the book unflinchingly describes Paesel's maternal struggles."
Anniston Star
"Irreverent thoughts are sprinkled throughout the memoir, leaving
nothing sacred or off-limits."
Hamptons Magazine ‚ Recommended
"Brett Paesel's account of life BC and AC (that's before child and
after child), will keep you laughing through three trimesters, 36 hours
of labor and counless nights of colic."
