Description:

The bond shared by women with their mothers and their sisters is undeniably complex. Alex Witchel, a style reporter for the New York Times, was lucky enough to grow up in a family of strong, sage, and funny women. The bond between Witchel, her mother Barbara, and her sister Phoebe was so tight that when she married, Witchel worried about this new arrangement cutting into her time with them. Girls Only is a sweet, witty collection of essays detailing this delicious triangle. Witchel dubs Barbara a "human Swiss Army knife": a description befitting a mom who is also an educational psychology professor, referee to sibling squabbles, dispenser of perfect tuna sandwiches, and a Trekkie. Witchel's writing is always entertaining, her wit is a constant, and the book is a pleasure.
