No.1 bestselling author Gill Sims is back with her eagerly awaited sixthWhy Mummynovel.
Ellen Russell embarks on the Ultimate Summer two whole months without the stifling confines of work drudgery, school runs, or juggling the household's never-ending demands. This year promises the idyllic, laughter-filled summer of her dreams with her best friend, Hannah, and their Precious Moppets.
But can a summer filled with wicker picnic hampers, vintage bicycles, and a sun-kissed trip to the in-laws' almost-chateau truly live up to The Vision
As Ellen navigates the siren call of relaxation, Simon's sudden "work crises," inevitable family drama, and the realities of trying to keep two feral hell-beasts alive on a daily basis threaten to derail Ellen's carefully laid plan of the "Summer of Happy Memories." Will her idealistic dreams shatter under the weight of reality, or can she salvage the joyous moments she so desperately seeks to mark one of the #18PreciousSummers.
A laugh-out-loud rollercoaster of friendship, family, and the quest for the perfect summer warts and all. Dive into Ellen Russell's unforgettable journey, proving that the most unexpected moments create the most enduring memories. Cheers to the Russell family's wild ride!
