I Don't Know How She Does It is a great book about a mum of two and a fund manager at Edwin Morgan Foster. Her name is Kate Reddy, she has a husband called Richard (Rich) and two young children called Emily and Ban. Having a busy job Kate has to juggle being at work and being there for her kids. When Kate and Richard are at work, Paula, the nanny looks after the house and children. Kate has to go on business trips all the time to America and other places around the world. This means that she does not spend as much time with her kids and husband as she would like.She has two friends called Debra Richardson and Candy Stratton, they help her with some of the problems she faces.
When she goes on her business trips Emily gets in a fuss and pretends that she does not love Kate anymore, for example when Kate asks if she want to read her a story, Emily says 'No, Paula reads me my stories.'
This is not easy for Kate to take but she just has to get on with her frantic life. Kate has to miss Christmas for a business trip to America to meet Jack Abelhammer. The reason for the trip is because she wants to set up a new part of the business. The trip goes very well and Jack even takes a liking to Kate. Jack's wife had died and he was lonely and he really liked Kate but Kate loved Rich too much and she said good bye to Jack and in the end she said good bye to her job. Kate decided she wanted to be a full time mum!

I would give this book a 10/10 because it is funny and interesting book to read. I would recommend this book to girls not boys.
