Reviews

This book is the best thing I have read - for any new mums, seasoned mums, mums to be - BUY THIS BOOK. I love this book! It’s not only a great read, it’s absolutely hilarious & you will be laughing out loud (I know you might think surely not, but I promise I was laughing more than I can recall) if Ellie writes anything else I’ll be the first to buy! I’ve never read such an honest account of the pressures to have a child, child birth and the days that follow.

The tone is friendly, and at most times hilarious, but there a points that are so honest and raw. Thank you Ellie, for this beautiful literary gift 💖 This book is absolutely wonderful. I laughed and wept in equal measures.

I heard about this one over the radio and thought I'd give it a read and up to now I'm half way through and I'm really enjoying it! Parenting is a wild, almost feral, ride - especially in a pandemic. I will be recommending it to all my friends who happen to be parents!

Ellie is a wonderful comedian as she is warm, relatable and honest - this translates perfectly in her writing and I can’t recommend this glorious book highly enough. I've been wanting to get into reading again for a few years now but been struggling to find a book I'd enjoy.

Ellie’s book gave me so much comfort, like sitting down with a lifelong friend and a warm cuppa. Ellie Taylor perfectly captures the all emotions felt during motherhood.

If you have a friend that’s expecting, BUY THEM THIS. Ellie speaks with such open honesty about how you have to go through it - you can’t go under it, you can’t go around it.
