Had me rolling about laughingI read this in one sitting it was that good Chellsandbooks

Rebecca is 42, has a beautiful child and a wonderful husband. But she just hasnt been feeling herself recently

Rebecca thinks a great night out should involve a packet of Marlboros, six double vodkas and snogging a colleague. Not gormlesslydrinking a zero-alcohol No-hito while Instagramming a vegan chicken wing.

Rebecca wants to ride on a Harley Davidson, to crowd surf till dawn, then collapse in a heap after swigging from a bottle of Jack Daniels . . . not sit in a soul-destroying meeting surrounded by 'blue sky thinking' and men half her age who interrupt all the time.

She's had enough of commuting to an office that is so cold people have to wear blankets all day. And she can't help asking herself why her adorable daughter must spend all week in a containment zone for pre-schoolers.

Rebecca wants to feel that there's MORE coming her way, rather than less . . .

In short Rebecca wants out.

Reviews

Had me laughing and crying in equal measure would recommend to anyone venturing into parenthood or considering it. Anna Whitehouse aka Mother Pukka

I love Annikis writing on motherhood. Its funny and totally honest, but also soulful and sometimes quite beautiful. She gets to the heart of the matter of what it feels like to be a mother. Clover Stroud

Anniki has the magic touch of saying what many of us are too edited to say whilst also being hilarious I dont know many parents that havent felt the overwhelm and having someone so brilliantly put it on paper makes me feel like Im not the only one.Cherry Healey

'It felt like it was written for me.'Kate Hiscox @wearsmymoney

Hilarious, painful and deeply accurate. . . I was torn between howling with laughter and wincing with pain. Julia Williams
