Amy Crane is in crisis. Six months after the birth of her baby, Amy still looks pregnant and can’t remember the last time she had a wax, or an orgasm. Motherhood is stirring up disturbing questions about her own childhood. And she suspects her boyfriend is cheating. Enter Alice, yummy mummy superior, on a mission to transform Amy’s body, and love life.

As Amy swaps breast pads for Botox and climbs out of a vortex of self-doubt, her libido awakens from its long nap and things get rather more complicated...

I first read this book when I’d just had a baby and 12 years on I still don’t identify with any of the characters. Amy is a whinging brat and isn’t happy either way. And all her ‘friends’ were mummy cliches. Having said that, it was good to switch off to and not have to concentrate on.

Be warned though, the narrator does this horrifying baby cry throughout and it went through my head like a knife. Very annoying and made me want to punch her.

Baby noises!

This was a very disappointing listen.
The brief synopsis was deceiving as the full story lacked any real comedy moments, ‘bite’ & momentum - it was very stop start.
Characters were not very believable considering that I do in fact know quite a few ‘Yummy Mummies’ in person.
I rated it 1 star as you cannot rate half stars.
I regret purchasing this title.
