What if you said the worst thing a mother could say?

What if your husband found out about it in the national press?

And what if after all that, you didn’t regret it…?

‘My life is a tight knot I would like to undo. And, yes, there’s no use crying over spilt milk but, the truth is, I’d rather die than spill any more…’

Bea has a husband and daughter. Bea also has an appointment for a termination. Her first child changed everything–her life, her relationship, her identity. Now she has a pregnancy test and a decision to face.

This is a story about the women we (think we) know, the choices we make, the friends who stand by us and how the secrets we keep and the words left unsaid can be more dangerous than any lie we tell…

Eleştirmen yorumları

"Fresh, brave, sharp and timely. And very, very readable. I strongly recommend it." (David Shannon)

"A fabulous angry roar of a book. Heartfelt and honest. Taboo breaking. Is there such a thing as being too honest…? A fantastic book club read too." (Liz Hyder, author of The Gifts)

"This may just be my new favourite novel. Bea is a fiercely relatable character who pulls back the curtain on the ways that modern motherhood changes you to the core. Difficult and beautiful, this story made me feel seen." (Gemma Hartley, author of Fed Up)

This is a powerful and beautifully written book highlighting how far society still has to go when it comes to tackling the inequality that still exists between men and women’s parenting roles. It tackles this issue bravely, speaking truthfully about some of the most taboo issues surrounding motherhood and domestic labour. I love the way the novel is written as though Bea is speaking directly to her daughter. It’s a story about motherhood, love, grief, friendship, marriage, and a woman’s right to choose, I highly recommend it!

A must read for any new parent or anyone contemplating parenthood!

I listened to this in almost one hit, saving the last two hours for when I was in my own and I could give it my full attention, Beashel doesn’t shy away from how brutal motherhood can be and how it’s one of the most beautiful experiences of your life whilst also being one of the hardest things you’ll ever commit too. It’s so good, so readable and so relatable.

Truthful, beautiful and relatable

I encourage everyone to read this book … it’s insightful and touches on subjects that are universal, but not talked about.
Excellently written

A must read!!

Every word earns its place in this book. Beautifully crafted and exquisitely drawn observations everyone could relate to.
I loved where this book took my head and my heart, even when I didn’t want to go there. Highly recommended.

The narrator was amazing …. But

I really REALLY wanted to like this book….

No one in this book was likeable (well maybe Mable was ok).
Everyone was entitled and just annoying. No one thought through their decision, they made rushed and unnecessary decisions and then they were surprised when they had to face the consequences…

This is prime example of spoilt people getting pregnant for clout and presence online with out realising that raising children is not easy and full of sacrifices …

Very disappointing
