The Callaghan sisters are back for their third installment - following up from the success of 'Has anyone seen my sex life?' and 'Can I Give my Husband Back?', we're now following Beth Callaghan and her husband Will, trying to deal with the very abrupt switch from being a vibrant party girl, always found at a music festival with flowers in her hair to a very sleepy mum wearing last weeks pj's.
As if that's not confusing enough, her beautiful little boy Joe has been scouted to model for Kimmie, the newest rap sensation and surprising candidate for best friend. With life going a million miles an hour, Beth finds herself in new territory in more ways than one, with a new band of friends around her she'd never imagined.
It's not all fun and games though, when your main focus in life is keeping a new little person alive, how do you keep a relationship going? What about friendships? Or you own sanity even?
It's hard not to love Beth and her supportive band of sisters, they're hilariously real women who most definitely are not perfect - but they all acknowledge that tea cures most problems in the world.
Beth and Will give us such a true account of the hilariously difficult parts of being a new parent, because after all "Everyone's experience of parenthood is just one big cautionary tale" after all, isnt' it?
The most wonderful thing about this book was the amazing playlist that goes along with it, revealing one song with each chapter, telling us their lives through the songs that made it, until we finally find out where the playlist came from.
Bailey has a habit of writing hilariously heartwarming tales and this is no exception - a totally different type of 'coming of age' novel.
