The Undercover Mother: A laugh out loud romantic comedy about love, friendship and parenting

‘This was absolutely hilarious! I just couldn’t stop laughing throughout.’ Jessica’s Book Biz, 5 stars

Jenny has too much on her plate: literally – she’s only expecting one child but she’s eating for at least three. Not to mention trying to juggle her nightmare boss, a know-it-all sister, and an infuriatingly laid-back husband. 

She used to be known for her ‘Single Girl About Town’ column. But when her boss gives her job to a younger colleague, Jenny panics and proposes she blogs instead about being a clueless new mum. Surely people will find her new friendship group fascinating? (Even if the only thing they seem to have in common is that they all had sex around the same time 9 months ago…)

And if her readers aren’t quite hooked yet, maybe Jenny will just have to be more liberal with the truth. After all, none of the other mums will read it… will they? 

The Undercover Mother is a hilarious parenting page-turner that will make you laugh, cry and want to crack open the gin. Perfect for fans of Why Mummy Drinks and The Bad Mother’s Diary.

‘Oh my days. I loved this book… The Undercover Mother is certainly in parts a laugh out loud read, it’s also a comfort read, sometimes happy, funny and sometimes a little sad… I could relate to so much of this from when I was a new mum… Winging it, thinking everyone else has their sh*t together, and there is only you in the world that isn’t managing everything… First Class read, I recommend this book to anyone who wants a fun, yet real read.
