Trade Review
Funny and heart-warming on motherhood, marriage and female friendship. * SheerLuxe.com *
Funny and frank about competitive parenting, emotional labour and post-parenthood marriage. * Dawn O'Porter, author of The Cows *
Helen is a hilariously witty, observational and truly brilliant storyteller. I loved this book and it will make you snort. * Emma Gannon, author of The Multi-Hyphen Method *
Helen has created a rollercoaster of a narrative on a scenario so many of us relate to, which will make you laugh, cry and cringe all at once! But with all the emotional turmoil and mind-bending plot twists, what really stands out is the women themselves - women you know, women you're friends with, women who intimidate you on the school run. The characters are so real and so relatable, the storyline is doubly moving. And I wish I'd said a whole bunch of hilarious remarks myself on the playground! * Grace Timothy, author of Mum Face *
'A fabulous, funny debut about friendship and the perils of push parenting. Required reading for anyone who has been anywhere near the school gate.' * Tasmina Perry *
Packed with hilarious moments! * Woman magazine *
'Reassuring, packed with wry humour - this will resonate with Mums everywhere' * Woman and Home *
