Momtistic

Recently, I was fortunate enough to receive an advance reader copy of Momtistic, a forthcoming memoir by my friend and fellow author, Laura Donovan.

It's her story about becoming a mother, having two sons on the autism spectrum, and discovering as an adult that she might be neurodivergent herself. And I have to say, I absolutely loved it. Here's a review I wrote for Goodreads:

"This was the first "unputdownable" book I've read in a while. It was funny, touching, and I could relate to it in so many ways. The tone reminded me of Jenny Lawson while the style and voice were uniquely the author's own. Highly recommended for parents, anyone with a connection to the autism community, and/or fans of memoirs (or just good books) in general."

I was introduced to Laura by Shamim Dana aka The Autograph King, who you might remember from this post from last year. Both Laura's book and a documentary film featuring Shamim are scheduled to come out this September, and I'll be interviewing Laura for the Fall issue of Spectrum Life Magazine (I previously interviewed Shamim last summer).

In the meantime, you can pre-order Momtistic from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Bookshop.org, Walmart, Target, or the publisher, Cynren Press. All the links are here. Do it now, you know you want to!
