I picked this book up on an impulse which rarely works out for me. This time it did! This is a unique, well-written story about a single mom with teenagers. Oh, and she happens to have superpowers. The superhero angle provides much fun and laughter, and totally complements the heart-warming story.
If you are tired of the "same old, same old", pick up this book! A sequel just came out, it's at the top of my TBR pile.

Birdie Lee is a normal mom until a Swiffer accident gives her superpowers and transforms her into Super Mom. Now she must keep her secret identity, take down the supervillian, and get the guy.
This is a fun book with a refreshing take on the superhero genre. However, Birdie herself is an emotional mess that has no self-esteem and continually gets walked on. She inspires pity--not a good trait for a protagonist.

My wife kept me awake nights by laughing as she read this in bed so I had to read it even though I'm a guy. I have to say that is was funny and well written...I recommend it for mom AND dads.

This was a fun book to read, especially since I really like superheroes. It was a quick read and included a light love story. Anyone who feels like a Super-mom should read this book.

Who hasn't made the "moms are superheroes" analogy? Because absolutely, we are.
And as much as I'd like to be able to clean up spills in a single bound, this book wasn't as clever as it should've been.
Plus, the leaking/squirting references really skeeved me out.

What an unexpected delight! This is the kind of book you recall cute parts from out of the blue months later. It is funny and warm and witty...a great read when you want a book that makes you read with a grin on your face.

I really enjoyed the author's writing style, and some parts made me laugh, but the story was just not one of my favorites. I know it was never intended to be a realistic story but I think I'd like to read a more believable story by this author.

After an incident involving a vast amount of cleaning chemicals, the heroine of this story finds herself with super cleaning powers, and then some. The ensuing tale is incredibly funny.
This would make a great beach-read. :)

Wasn't sure about this book when I bought it on the 70% off rack at a department store in FL, but it is very entertaining. Off the beaten path of the usual psychological murder mysteries I usually read.

The title caught my eye at the library and I picked it up without thinking too much. What a funny, quick read! I love all the little referances to Superheroes throughout the book...

I just couldn't get through this book. I wanted to like it so much, but it really felt forced and fell flat for me.
