I Don't Know How She Does It by Allison Pearson
A victim of time famine, Kate Reddy counts seconds like other women count calories. Factor in a manipulative nanny, an Australian boss who looks at Kate's breasts as if they're on special offer, a long-suffering husband, two children and an email lover, and you have a woman juggling so many balls that some day something's going to hit the ground.
