NEW RELEASE
Just Another Manic Mum-Day - Mink Elliott (2012)
In this sequel to The Pissed Off Parents Club, Roxy is struggling to adjust to her new life in Sydney, Australia. After upping sticks from Britain with her husband Jack and their three-old-daughter Joey, things are about to become more complicated when Roxy discovers she's pregnant again. And there seems to be nowhere for a stressed-out mum to relax. Roxy - armed with her new-found friend Shoshanna - decides to set up a cafe called Just Another Manic Mum-day for new parents trying to find their feet. I'm not a mum but I laughed throughout this book and understood the worries Roxy faced every day. If you love books about groups, kids and friendships then this will tick all the boxes for you. Highly recommended - and I have to confess to loving the title. (KD)
