This novel came into my life right when I needed it.
M is for Mummy follows Lucy, a woman who has just given birth to her second child and is watching her life be turned upside down. She’s had to swap her career for family life and tries to help her son with autism spectrum disorder to shine.
I found myself laughing out loud at this book. Even though I’m not a mum yet, I found myself being able to relate to this so much as a woman. It came into my life just when I really needed a nice easy and light read. I found myself devouring the pages and being able to read this so much quicker than I normally read a book! I loved the short chapters and easy writing style. I admit, this may be a little crude for some people but I didn’t mind it and almost felt that I became part of the family. I’ve never read any other mummy type books so it’s possible that this may be similar in many ways. But I loved the unique focus on ASD in this book.
I absolutely loved the overall message of this book. Highlighting the importance of relishing in our differences and striving to be our true selves, no matter what that entails. You can tell that the author has lived this experience. Her knowledge and personal touch is added so beautifully to the character of Lucy. It made it all feel so incredibly real, almost like I was reading a memoir! Stan’s character wormed his way into my heart. I loved this debut novel and would love to read more by this author!
I recommend this book to any mums/women/parents who fancy a nice light and humorous read.
