“Of Men and Their Mothers” by Mameve Medwed was pretty interesting. A woman struggles with her ex-husband and former mother-in-law and comes to grips with her own mother-in-law tendencies as her son brings home an inappropriate girlfriend.It’s not high literature and it’s not the funniest book ever, but it was easy to read and would appeal to many chick lit fans. And if you have a mother-in-law from you-know-where, this book would probably cheer you up. Of course, I don’t have that problem, so I couldn’t relate :^)

If you’re looking for a chick lit novel with a bit more depth, I’d recommend “Snow Flower and the Secret Fan” (read my review) or “The Elegant Gathering of White Snows” (read my review).
