Reviews"What a clear-eyed rendering of the grimy, exhausting, beautiful mess that is early motherhood! I laughed, winced in recognition, and cheered wholeheartedly (sometimes out loud) for Lanie as she struggles to learn how to love everyone enough and still give part of herself to herself." Marisa de los Santos, author ofBelong to Me "If you like novels with happy endings that will remind you of childhood fairy tales, then Katherine Center's Everyone is Beautiful is the perfect book . . . Bound to catch the sympathetic attention of women looking for stories of self-improvement on physical and emotional levels. This is a breezy read that glows, in part, because its characters bask in the sunny side of life."-USA Today "Endearing . . . Unpretentious, silly, and honest."-People "Katherine Center has written a novel that will strike a chord in the heart of any woman who has ever tried to raise small children . . . Center has a deft and humorous touch . . .Everyone is Beautifulwill make you laugh out loud, even as you wince in recognition."-Free Lance Star "Part mommy lit, part chick lit and part red hot romance. Readers, especially new moms, will identify with the main character's struggle to balance parental responsibility with adult needs and desires."-The Examiner, Houston "Lighthearted . . . In less deft hands, the horrors of the out-of-control Coates toddlers would resemble bad reality television, but Center's breezy style invites the reader to commiserate, laughing all the way, with Lanie's plight. Avoids the obvious cliches, while harkening pleasantly back to '50s-era motherhood humor classics like Jean Kerr'sPlease Don't Eat the Daisies."-Kirkus "Center takes a woman at her most vulnerable time and sets her on a journey to find herself without losing what she holds most dear in a superbly written novel filled with unique and resonant characters."-Booklist "Agreeable mom-lit … sparkling."-Publishers Weekly "Everyone is Beautifulis a loving and hilarious portrayal of motherhood and marriage. Katherine Center has a keen eye and a fresh take on the joys and pain of a new mother trying to do everything right, and to be everything to everybody. You will laugh and relate, weep and rejoice on Lanie's journey of self discovery. I highly recommend the trip!"-Adriana Trigiani, author ofVery Valentine From the Hardcover edition., "What a clear-eyed rendering of the grimy, exhausting, beautiful mess that is early motherhood!
