Chick-lit. No wait, chick-light. Anyone who has ever been on an email group will understand the book. You'll even identify with some of the characters. A couple of the characters were simply too extreme and unrealistic. It was funny in places, but mostly I found it annoying. A very light read, but I couldn't get it finished fast enough. This one won't be going on my bookshelf.

I am going to start with the things I liked about this book before I get into what I did not.
#1- It was fast and laid out in e-mail format throughout which made it fun to read (albeit confusing at times).
#2- A couple of the characters were realistic in their SAHM lifestyles.
However, what I did not like was:
#1- Unless I read the description wrong, I was not under the impression that the basis of this book's "e-mail group" was of a religiou...more

Actually, I didn't read past the first few pages. B.O.R.I.N.G. I hated the format...all emails, no story. It was hard to keep track of who was who.

recommends it for:
Christians, Christian SAHM, SAHM
SAHM I AM, is a Christian chick lit that is laid out in an email format; For anyone who has or is a member of online groups be it for Christians or just secular moms (and even non-moms)groups, "SAHM I AM" is a very down to earth, and I felt fun if not insightful look at the inter-relationships of women.
There are characters that were larger than life, but then again, this is a fictional book and it really captures the experiences many of us experience when we are engaged in ...more

Even though I'm still reading this book I feel confident saying that it will thoroughly entertain any mom who has been a part of a group of any kind. At first I was hesitatnt about whether the style of the novel (nothing but emails!) would be burdensome, but it is quite easy to follow. Already, I have had several laugh out loud moments. Already looking forward to reading the second installment...

I picked this book up at the library on Tuesday night and I finished it by Thursday. It was a fun read written in email format about a cross country email group of stay at home moms (SAHM). It was funny and light to read.

Not as good as the follow up to it. A series of emails from a SAHM loop.

fundamentalist homeschoolers, people with no life
This book sucked. Get a job. Or a hobby. Or something. For Christ's sweet sake. And HOLY OVERCHRISTIANITY, Batman.
P.S. I'm sure it didn't help that I was prepared to judge the author as soon as I read she homeschools ... perhaps I should no longer pick books out of the library when I have my sons with me?) I skimmed this piece of crap just to get to the blessed end so I could say I read it.

I started reading this book for the "SAHM" part of it. However, it is intensely Christian. Every character in the book is Christian and many are pastor's wives. The e-mail format is cute for a light read, and it is a truly fluff read. I don't mind reading about people who are different from me, but I'd really only recommend this to Christian SAHMs.

It was a super quick read - I managed to swallow it in one day in a few quick sittings. It is indeed - chick-lit, but it made for an easy read with low guilt, a few good chuckles and that all important sense of I'm not ALONE out there.

It reminded me of talking to all of my UnMommies, but it was way too spiritual-focused for me. If it had less bible verses, and a little more grit, I would have liked it a LOT more!

I thought this was a funny, real-life view of a Stay-at-home Mom, and it made me wish I belonged to a group like in the book.

Hilarious. Ab-so-lute-ly ha-larious. Plus it's got a unique format and I can totally relate to a lot of the issues.

Quick and interesting read for an SAHM. I didn't love it but needed something light and quick.

It was a fun book, but a little hard to read because it was written like emails.

This was a fun, easy-to-read book. It's not a life-changing experience, but I liked it.

Give me a peek of what it's like to be a woman, a wife, and a mother. In a fun way!

Not what I had hoped it would be. Hard to relate to, being a SAHM myself.
