Today an anonymous mom writes about how she’s a paid housewife … for a man she isn’t married to. Sure it might be controversial – moms are famously overwhelmed – but I consider it enterprising and smart as hell. Give it a read to see if you agree.

Let’s be honest: most “family vacations” are just parenting in a prettier location. But Hilton’s Zemi Miches Punta Cana is here to flip the script. Opening this summer on a private beach along the Dominican Republic’s Playa Esmeralda, this oceanfront all-inclusive has everything you need to actually unplug. Think: unlimited cocktails, four dreamy pools (yes, there’s a waterpark for the kids), and 10+ restaurants and bars to keep everyone fed and happy without a single decision required. While the little ones are off making crafts or burning off energy at the Kids Club, you can sneak away to the rooftop pool, join a beach yoga class, or book a hydrotherapy session at the spa. Translation? It’s not just a vacation — it’s an escape you’ll feel in your soul.

These are the 15 most anticipated new book releases of the summer, according to a bunch of other people who love to read just as much as you do.
