But kids are now back in school, and it’s time for back to YOU, moms! For Carrie and me, that means lots and lots of reading, and we’re here to check in with you with our first book club of the fall–welcome to our Cutting Teeth book club!First things first, let me say this was perhaps the most challenging book I’ve ever read for this book club (with the exception of Bitter Orange, which I absolutely despised)....…Ah, friends, I’m sorry to have missed our meeting last month.
