This book, written in diary style is a humorous look at the everyday, Jo Middleton has turned the ordinary into a wonderful laugh out loud read. The diary chronicles a year in the life of, Jaffa Cake and Prosecco fuelled, single mum Frankie as she copes with a part time job, a toddler and a teenager. Faced with the mums at playgroup who appear to lead perfect Instagram lives, she forms a splinter group because after all playgroup is not just for the toddlers social life but for mummy's too. Communicating with her mum friends on WhatsApp, Frankie struggles with an Ex husband, tackles a teenager and takes a foray into Tinder dating all with comical results.
I really loved this book, as a mum I found some of the stories easy to relate to, and it gave me the 'been there, done that' feeling. It is written with such insight and fun, I really enjoyed it and was a bit sad when I got to the end! Hoping there is a part two!
