The Balance Project
Katherine Whitney has it all. She’s married, has two daughters, is the COO of Green Goddess & Co., a 
multi-billion dollar health and wellness lifestyle company, and with the release of her book on work-life balance, she is not only a media darling but she is a hero to working moms everywhere. In reality, though, Katherine’s life is starting to fall apart, and her loyal assistant Lucy Cooper is the one holding most things together. But when Katherine does something unthinkable to Lucy, Lucy is faced with a difficult decision. Will she choose to change Katherine’s life forever or continue being her main champion. Her decision could change the trajectory of both of their lives. The Balance Project is a story of loyalty, choices, and most of all balance as it explores the hot-button issue that all women struggle with.

My review...........4 stars
Another solid book about attempting to "have it all". I found this to be a very enjoyable read. The writing flowed well, and the characters were well fleshed out, I particularly enjoyed Lucy. I could empathize with all the main characters even when they did something that I may not have liked or agreed with. The subject was one that will never get old (and probably never have a true solution), the concept of juggling career, motherhood, relationship, and me time. Even though it did seem like a book I've read before, I still really liked it, and would recommend it as a great light read. I read this while attending Book Expo America, where I could only manage to read a few pages at a time, and it was very easy to pick up right where I left off.
A cute, light, character driven story that should be pleasing to most of my readers, particularly good for summer vacation read.

This does sound good, and I like the sound of Lucy. So glad you enjoyed this one Donna.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read and review THE BALANCE PROJECT! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!
Thank you for stopping by my blog!
Your comment about this topic never getting old and probably never having an answer depressed me a bit. I know it's true, but it would be nice if we could find a way to balance everything without stressing out about it.
Even though your comment made me pause, this does sound like a fun summer read. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
