3.0

A momcentric rom-com that — despite some cringey makeover scenes and banter — was both affirming and enjoyable. More enjoyable than believable, perhaps, but it's easy to set aside my disbelief when there are so many bookish delights sprinkled throughout to distract me. This is essentially a story about a school librarian who goes to a conference in New York and gets her groove back. (Yes, there's a sexy librarian guy involved.) But it's also a story of strong women, dedicated friends, motherhood, family, parenting, divorce, co-parenting, midlife dating, self care, and more. ⁣And I don't know many moms who would be disappointed if "momspringa" became a thing.
