This is so funny and real. I loved it!

It resonated with me so many times that I genuinely laughed out loud.

Please write another instalment.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for gifting me this arc in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

Has somebody been bugging my house? A very funny, fast moving, bitingly accurate depiction of modern, two job/parent/child city life which manages to be both hilarious and sympathetic to its cast of utterly believable characters.

I loved this from the first page and it's the first really laugh out loud book I've read for a while. I've always enjoyed Lucy Mangan's Guardian columns so was really looking forward to this novel. Like the recent BBC comedy Motherland, this really appealed to my sense of humour and Mangan is so insightful about the day to day life of being a mother (and a partner). It's a joyous read that I'd highly recommend.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this digital ARC>

I received a copy of this book to review from Netgalley and all opionins are my own.
A hilarious yet charming read that will keep you hooked to the pages. This book is laugh out loud funny with a perfect balance of heartwarming sweet moments. The writing is well done and the characters engaging and very relatable. A fantastic read to press into the hands of anyone looking for a joyous read.

If anyone is looking to find out more about life as a mum of two, wife to one, whilst working alongside all of the kids/life/friends/house/admin/extended family/husband goings on, then this is the book for you!

Liz, 39 and married to Richard with a small son and daughter between them, keeps a diary for a year that is laugh out loud, winceable, true to life and engaging throughout. Liz is carefully navigating that life of wife and mother and daughter and friend and colleague and sister, all at the same time, in a scenario that will be very familiar to women in their 30s and 40s.

I sat and read this one hot summer’s day whilst my own son and daughter played in the garden so I have to admit to finding so much of Liz’s life to be completely relatable and entertaining. One not to miss.

Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read and review.

I really enjoyed this book, It made me howl with laughter, with thanks to netgalley and the publishers for the arc of the book

This is so much fun! A little bit Bridget Jones, a little bit chatting-with-your-best-friend over coffee, and a lot of relatable laughs!
