My Mother Prefers Robots (A Theory)

Ever feel like your life is an audition you never signed

up for? Imagine growing up in a household where

vacuuming was a competitive sport, dishwashing felt

like Hell’s Kitchen: Hygiene Edition, drawer-opening

techniques that could seemingly rival a Buckingham

Palace heist…

and coughing? That is practically treason.

Packed with dry wit and painfully relatable moments,

this hilarious memoir explores what it’s like to grow up

under the reign of a matriarch who holds everyone to

impossible standards—except herself. Spoiler: even

robots would struggle to pass her test.
