‘. . . this is a story that immediately rings true when it comes to real-life motherhood . . . This book grabbed me immediately because I’ve been there . . . I’ve felt the pain and the joy and shared the experiences with my own eclectic group of first-time mums . . . I felt like I was on the same level as the character—sharing in their world. Then before you even realise it you get pulled into the storyline and you can’t put it down. Brilliant.’
The Truth About Mummy
‘I never just stop and read. But this book had me hook, line and sinker . . . I loved it . . . It is funny, sad, thought-provoking and has fantastic twists in the plot that make you keep on reading.’
Woog’s World
‘Six mothers brought together by their babies and almost driven apart by unforeseen developments and events. I joined their group for two days and got the inside scoop on all the stuff we don’t always talk about as mothers. Taboo subjects, controversial debates, differences of opinion. I could not put the book down and mourned the loss of my new-found friends when I turned to the last page . . . This is a book that any mother can relate to, whether she has a mothers’ group or not.’
