A funny and touching insight into music, autism and motherhood
I was very excited to read this book as I loved the first impression, but as I read more I just felt like this wasn't for me. I haven't read any books by Gill Sims before or any of the 'Why Mummy' series, so maybe this may be a factor as to why I didn't connect to the book.
I do think that I am not the target audience, so lots references and experiences I did not relate to. I'm sure if you are part of the target audience then these parts will be really good and relatable. Personally I thought the jokes were not funny and I could tell they were trying to be.
There were points when I had to force myself to complete the book. I didn't like how the main character moans about her children a lot. I understand all parents moan about their kids, but for me it just felt too much. Again, maybe this is because of my age and the fact I don't have children.
I understand that Gill has a huge fan base, so I am sure many of her readers will enjoy the book.
