Reviews

Bloody hilarious. Whether you're about to pop, thinking about it or staring at the ruins of your social life and watching CBeebies, this book is essential reading. Ellie jumps from the seriousness to the ridiculousness of parenting with ease and unbridled joy
*Cariad Lloyd*

Not just a very honest book about becoming a mother but a very very honest book about being a woman and navigating all the choices and not-choices that this involves. Ellie has unpacked so much about what motherhood takes from us, even as it hands marvellous things to us.

She has written a book that made me feel an incredible surge of love for myself and for all the mothers who have gone before me. I want my daughters to read this book

Finally a parenting book full of honesty, heart and humour - I loved it
*Jason Manford*

Ellie Taylor's writing is as consistently funny and life affirming as looking after a toddler, but not as exhausting
*Josh Widdicombe*

Raw, honest and hilarious.
*Rosie Ramsay*

Ellie has written a refreshingly honest take on parenting that will make you both laugh out loud and cry tears of relief that it's not just you.
*Romesh Ranganathan*

Very, very, very funny. This took me back to the horror and the joy and then added big laughs. A really bloody good read.
