Everyone is Beautiful is a slice of life, mostly comedic tale of Lanie's life as a wife and mother of three children under five. She has been uprooted from her Texas home and family and now lives in a small apartment with her husband and three young sons while her husband pursues his musical career.

Not a lot actually happens in this book, which is why it was "just okay" for me instead of good. I know I'll quickly forget about it. Now, if I were a mother I'm sure I'd relate to it more. The descriptions of motherhood were everything I think they should be: funny, draining, daunting, strange, meaningful, puke-filled. All of it. This is definitely a character driven book, centered around Lanie reclaiming herself after loosing herself in mothering three small and needy humans.

No one really changes in this book, though, despite the premise. Sure, Lanie learns to accept some help in babysitting and takes a few hours for herself every now and then. But she doesn't really change as a person.

So this one was not one of my favorite Katherine Center books. But that's okay. I don't think this one was meant for me.
