Summary
It’s time for a w(h)ine.
‘Oh, for f--k’s sake’ muttered Claire under her breath, as she opened the fridge to see what she could find for a no effort dinner. The children continued to fight behind her. They regarded any form of fish not encased in breadcrumbs as toxic, and were resistant enough to the delicious homemade fishfingers Claire had made for them, insisting they much preferred Captain Birdseye’s version. White wine was starting to look like quite an appealing dinner actually. Maybe just a small glass.
‘Are you having wine, Mum? You know you’re not supposed to have wine every night. We did about alcohol units at school. That’s quite a big glass of wine, how many units do you think are in it?’
’Bet the bastards didn’t tell you that wine is remarkably good at cancelling out whining though, did they?’ muttered Claire.
Claire’s family has gone nuclear. Her precious moppets keep calling Childline when she feeds them broccoli, she’s utterly Ottolenghied out at weekends and her darling husband is having an affair with her best friend.
The question isn’t whether she needs a glass of wine, but is there one big enough?
Enter the Sauvignon Sisterhood, a new set of friends brought together by a shared love of liquid therapy. Together they might just be able to convince Claire that, like a good bottle of red, life really can get better with age. Or at least there’s more to it than the joy of an M&S non-iron school uniform.
Critic reviews
"God, she’s funny." (Jilly Cooper)
"Sims’s latest offering is a hilarious follow-up to her best-selling debut...you’d be forgiven for thinking the blogger behind Peter and Jane couldn’t pull it off twice—but she has." (The Sunday Post)

duplicate of Why Mummy Drinks books
I have loved the why mummy drinks books, and don't get me wrong this book is equally as good. However this uses the same language and I (Lucy perfect mummy) would expect Ellen to pop up in this book as a side character. Clare is going through the same struggles.
Then same struggles a high proportion of married women with kids can identify with.

Disappointing
Narration is awful. Story is predictable and not as good as her other books. Couldn’t wait for it to end.

Wasn’t sure at first
I wasn’t sure at first after enjoying the “why mummy” books so much but persist as it’s the funniest so far and really worth a listen heart breaking and heart warming all at once.

light and humorous
loved the first three Gill Sims books why mummy drinks, and couldn't put them down.
this was a little bit slower to warm up, for me the voices threw me slightly, I felt like I was dipping in and out of the cast of Horrid Henry. however as with all her books it's sprinkled with humour friendship and ease.

Enjoyable listed
I enjoyed listening to this story however, a lot of it was reused from the Why Mummy Drinks series so not very original.
