MAKING HER DEBUT
Mums Like Us, the debut novel by Laura Kemp, is about the battle between the slummy and yummy mummies. The summary says: "Attention, all lardies! Are you sick to death of mumupmanship at the school gates? Have you had your fill of Mother Superiors who lose their baby weight in six weeks while you're still carrying yours years later? Do you crave the company of like-minded mums who will admit motherhood smells not of roses but of dirty nappies? Well, look no further than the Mums Like Us Club, a weekly group where knackered mums can let rip about kids, husbands and work. So join our rejection of perfection, and fight for 'good enough' parenting. And drink. And lots of cake. Look forward to seeing you!" Mums Like Us is out in January.
