Playgroups and Prosecco
Playgroups and Prosecco: The (mis)adventures of a single mum | Jo Middleton
7 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
A hilarious and totally relatable book about the adventures of a single mum, for fans of Catastrophe and Motherland. Readers of Why Mummy Drinks, Unmumsy Mum and The Single Mum's Wish List will love this debut novel from parenting blogger Slummy Single Mummy. 'You'll end up warming to Frankie so much that you'll be wishing you could crack open a bottle of prosecco with her in real life!' MIKE GAYLE, bestselling author of The Man I Think I Know ________________________________ January 3rd Jaffa Cakes - 7. Times I was forced to watch a small child do a dance involving a dusty piece of ribbon found under the sofa - 4. Inappropriate thoughts about Zac Efron - undisclosed. Single mum Frankies whole life revolves around her kids. But when your toddler has a more active social life, something has to change. Forget me-time, Frankie would settle for some adult conversation, and watching something other than the Disney channel. The local playgroup may be ruled by Instagram mums with perfect husbands but Frankie accidentally forms a splinter group of single parents. After all, Mummy really needs a playdate of her own. (Now pass the prosecco.) ________________________________ WHAT READERS ARE SAYING 'As a mum of three I could totally relate to this novel on so many levels' - Titian 'Hilarious - made me laugh out loud' - Dominique 'Lots of funny anecdotes parents will recognise!' - Claire 'With shades of Bridget Jones, Frankie stumbles through life as a single mum' - Ann 'A very funny and realistic look at motherhood' - Katrina

Bit late but these were my reading stats for May. Hit a bit of a slump towards the end so didn't really read much. Not sure what June will bring as it's my last working month before redundancy hits. Best read is the tagged one.

Very good. If Helen Fielding and Gill Sims had a baby it would be Jo Middleton. Humourous and a delight to read even if you don't have children of your own it still appeals to the modern woman and all the issues we face as it deals with modern life in such a fresh way you will see a little bit of yourself in Frankie whoever you are. Thank you #Readersfirst for the free copy.

Love a good typo!!! On the left page she sets up a date for Wednesday and then on the right page under Monday's entry she says that she is worrying about Tomorrow's date so correct me if I am wrong but shouldn't that be under Tuesday's entry? 😂🤦📚📖

This was such a funny and very real book. It's so easy to relate to much of what happens to Frankie. So many parents feel the way she does, I know I certainly have. The story is written in a diary format which I really liked. The story was strong and so very real. It also made me laugh many times. A brilliant, funny light read. The scene with the fountain was hilarious and loved the ending. It finished the story so perfectly too.

Birdsong28 I got this from Reader's First. It took forever to get to me as it was delayed being dispatched from the warehouse. 📚📖 6y
kezzlou85 @Birdsong28 I got it from Netgalley instead of Readers First as they had it up first. 6y

Have won a copy from #Readersfirst 🎊🎉 Thank you to everyone who wished me luck 😘📚📖

laurieluna I've given up on readers first. I didn't receive my copy of The Wicked King, either the first copy sent or the one they re-sent! And the books just aren't appealing to me. Congrats on your win though 😘😊 6y
Birdsong28 @laurenbescoby That's a shame. Did you contact them about the second copy? You will find something soon. Thank you 😘📚📖 6y
Ms_T Yay! 6y
