Includes exclusive audiobook-only bonus content with @MammyBanter herself.

From the creator of viral Tiktok sensation, @MammyBanter, comes 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…

This is a piece of real life, every reader will see a bit of themselves and their mad family in the world of the Gallaghers. I cannot wait for the second book or movie.

Fantastic book, belly laughs galore.

I follow Mammy Banter on social media and my sister recommended the book. OMG I could't stop listening to it, I found myself going out for long walks so I could listen to the audio book!

Loved the story line and was gutted when it ended, I enjoyed it even more because it was read by Serena Terry.

Really recommend this book to everyone, it actually made me laugh out loud! Can't wait to now start the next one

Absolutely Brilliant

Loved this. it was such an easy listen. I finished it while in walks over 3/4 days. Was so nice listening to a local accent for a change and I think Serena's aim to have the main character be relatable was fully achieved. As an almost 30 new mum I still found I related a lot despite not being in quite the same position!

Loved it.
