‘It’s just a phase,’ they said. ‘These are the happiest years of your life,’ they said…
Mother of one and professional writer Saoirse (pronounced Seersha, not Searcy – thanks a bunch Game of Thrones!) is still adjusting to the demands of motherhood, four years after the birth of her daughter, Anna.
Living in the claustrophobic London suburb of Woodvale, and being surrounded by passive-aggressive mum-wars, isn’t helping. Neither is her increasingly pent-up anger at her once-perfect husband. Her only comrade in arms, best friend Bea, is the one thing keeping her sane.
When Saoirse’s agent asks her to pitch for a book, she is horrified to discover the topic is motherhood. How can she possibly write a ‘warts and all’ account of being a mother without giving away what it’s really like?
This book consists of 25 chapters that is split into 3 parts, this splitting into three parts is perfect for this book as it gives you a clear view of where the main character Saoirse grows. The character in herself is very relatable and as a reader you are able to see bits of yourself/ your views in the characters.
Now before I read this book I did see that someone described it as 'laugh out loud' now I wanted to make my own decision on this but as I read I had to agree with this comment. This book will have you giggling away to yourself from the very first chapter. One of the great things about this book apart from the laughing is that some chapter (clearly marked) take you into Saoirse past, which helps you as the reader understand the things she has gone through. The Author has used this as a great way to make you relate to the character even more and allows you to get more information on the background of the characters.
Now let me tell you a little bit about the Author Emma Murray, she was originally from Co.Dublin but moved to London in her early twenties. She had a successful career as a ghost writer but her childhood dream was always to write Fiction.
Overall I really enjoyed this book and found it to be well written. Not only that but this book really grips the reader and makes them want to read on. Once you start getting into this book you won't want to put it down until you finish it. You can get your copy HERE.
Until Next Time
