The Secret Life of an Uncool Mum

About this book

The Sunday Times bestselling novel from viral sensation, @MammyBanter

A hilarious warts-and-all novel about modern motherhood – and how having it all sometimes isn't what you think it might be.

She used to want it all.

Now she just wants a nap.

Tara Gallagher is knackered. She used to dream of being Beyoncé but suddenly she's thirty-six and instead of headlining Glastonbury, she's in her pyjamas on a Friday night, watching Gogglebox.

It's time for a mammy makeover. She's going to show her teenage daughter she's still cool. Show her husband she's still an absolute ride. And show her colleagues she's still a Boss Bish.

But most of all, she's going to prove to herself that she can still be a mum, still work full time, and still be Beyoncé…
