18 Books Every Mom Needs in Her Beach Bag This Summer

Part memoir, part self-help book, How Not to Hate Your Husband After Kids ($27) will make you laugh out loud and knowingly nod your head as journalist Jancee Dunn tries to bring her marriage back from the brink after realizing that having a baby has had the side effect of making her despise her well-meaning but totally clueless husband. After consulting the country's most renowned couples' and sex therapists, fellow parents, and even an FBI hostage negotiator on how to contain an "explosive situation," Dunn and her husband realize that kids require you to reevaluate your marriage — and their journey will reassure you that success is possible.
