Synopsis

Welcome to the jungle… When you’ve grown up thinking your twenties are all about working hard, playing hard and trying not to get pregnant, life comes at you fast when you go from hump to bump. So you thought adulthood would mean a high-flying career and a luxury lifestyle, but instead have ended up with a Lycra-based wardrobe and a deep fear of what lies at the bottom of the ball-pit in soft play? Join comedian Sophie McCartney as she voyages deep into the uncharted territories of mating, birthing, feral offspring, mums overdoing it at the watering hole, and the perilous viper’s nest of the school WhatsApp group. With laugh out loud humour and eye-watering honesty, Sophie shows how whether you’ve had a day full of whining or a night full of wine, there’s joy to be had in the perfectly imperfect wild ride into parenthood.

I’m not a mum, and you really don’t want to put this in that category. Sophie highlights this isn’t a book to learn parenting tips from. What it is, is respectful of all womens choices, it’s incredibly intelligent in bringing up difficult or taboo topics so subtly because she is hilarious! It’s funny......more
