The Onesies: Summer

Let me tell you about how Josie Brown ruined my life and got me hooked on crack. It was September 2nd 2013 when she reeled me in with her first dose of Josie Brown brand crack. The first dose is always free. This one was in the form of a free download "Totlandia: The Onesies, Book 1." my favorite price "free-ninety-nine." I'm too cheap and would never pay $4 for a 150 page e-Novella.I paid $4 each for the next 3 effing novellas. What can I say, I'm an addict now and it's Josie Browns fault for [...]

Dear Readers,I truly love the heroines of Totlandia--Jillian, Lorna, Ally and Jade. As I go through the journey of writing their intertwining stories, each of them becomes a part of me--and yes, there is a part of me in each of them as well.I want to be as self-assured as Lorna, but I have her insecurities, and sometimes her blind spots, too. The part of me that is successful is Ally, but I've been known to miss out on the personal milestones that make our life journey even sweeter. Like Jade, I [...]

I have long been a fan of Josie Brown, and the second this series came out, I devoured each and every one. The Totlandia books are delicious, addictive, hilariously funny, and also highlight important issues around motherhood and community. Brown writes with such a deft hand, developing loveable characters you want to be friends with and villainous ones you love to hate. I highly recommend this series!

In the fourth book of Josie Brown's Totlandia series, we're back in posh Pacific Heights with the crazy antics of the mothers (and fathers) of the Pacific Heights Moms & Tots club. From dictatorial manipulation to adultery, and a splash of S&M, this book keeps a reader hooked all the way through. Despite the exaggerated setting, it is an extremely relatable story that explores the drama of love, marriage, friendship and parenting with a comedic hand that is typical of all Josie Brown's b [...]

Yay for good triumphing over evil!!!! Evil mothers that is LOL Great resolution to all the storylines, happy-ever-afters abounding. Funny, heartwarming This is a story you won't want to miss! Josie Brown, you're awesome!

It's crazy but I just loved these books!

Very sad the next one isn't out for a while year!!

Great book.

This series was a great diversion for any mom. Silly, sexy, over the top at times, and a perfect diversion from real life. Definitely a satisfying end to the series.

Love the ending can not wait any longer to know what happens going to start twosies right away

Love this seriesI can't get enough. I am totally happy with reading these books. Looking forward to the next few books in the series which I have already purchased

MY THOUGHTSABSOLUTLEY LOVED ITSo spring has turned to summer and the moms on probation have completed all of the challenges put forth by Bettina, the sadistic leader of the Pacific Heights Moms & Tots Club. Ally and Jillian have launched a pie shop that is turning around Jillian's life. Jade has managed to keep her history secret - or so she thinks. Lorna has accepted that her son has Autism but won't quit the club because she has seen him respond so well to the small interactions there. And [...]

It is summer in San Francisco. Jade, Lorna, Ally, Jillian and their offspring face new barriers and challenges. Not just in regards to the Pacific Heighs Moms & Tots Club, but also on a personal and professional basis. Is Bettina (owner of the club) as untouchable and superior as she thinks?If you follow my blog, you will know that I really enjoy reading the Totlandia series. Book 4 is the newest edition. Although you could read this book as a stand-alone, I would highly recommend reading th [...]

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.This Totlandia books have seriously done a number on me! I started the first one not sure how I would like them, being a non-mother myself. But I was immediately hooked on this crazy group of women and the mommy group they belonged to. I’ve been having fun reading about them throughout the seasons, and the fourth book really took the cake in over the top for me. Friendships that we’ve read in the other books that seem like true [...]

This series went downhill fast. It seems like Josie Brown read 50 Shades of gray near the end of book 3 and decided to take an entirely different approach for the last book. I'm disappointed. It would have been better if she cut of the sloppy sex scenes and went into more depth of the events that were being built up during the length of the book. So many characters and events that were introduced just seemed so pointless.

I love this series. It is my guilty pleasure. You can get lost and wrapped up in the lives of Jillian, Lorna, Ally and Jade. Weather you love them, see yourself in them or if they drive you nuts you will be engaged cover to cover. This is a series to be read. They are quick and fun reads, but they also have meat. They are not mindless, they have depth! I love starting and finishing a book in the same day! But now I am left craving the next book in the series! 4 stars

I've enjoyed the series for the most part, despite inconsistencies and typos. This installment really left me weary though. Even though there were plenty of hooks to get you into the next book, I still felt like everything was wrapped up too neatly and ended up too saccharine for me. I'll probably continue to the next book but I think I need a break from the PHM&T crew.

My mouth is open!!!!! I wasn't expecting that at all. Oh Bettina, how I love/hate you so :-). I'm happy how everyone's circumstances turned outbut Bettina, oh Bettina, I need to know what will happen to you

Ending felt really rushed. The pacing of the books went downhill at book 2 and never quite recovered. Still, fun light reads

Could have done without the victim-blaming, imo.

A group of women trying to be members of a snooty mom's and tots group are the center of this book. There is some humor, but the push to be "high class' becomes boring.

Review coming. Satisfying in many ways.

More of the same here. I think I am stopping this series now.
