Publisher's Summary

From Sunday Times bestselling author and TikTok sensation @MammyBanter

One month to go. One stressed mum. Can she pull off the perfect family Christmas?

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…

Like every mum, Tara wants a perfect Christmas for her family – but no-one else is lifting a finger and she’s losing her elf-ing mind.

From a vaping teen, explosive potty training and a disastrous Nativity, to a distracted husband acting very out of character, the final straw is Tara’s glamorous, feckless mother moving herself back in for the holidays.

Can Tara pull off the holly jolly Christmas of her dreams? Will she deck the halls and not her family? Or is this a Christmas catastrophe waiting to happen…

Hilarious, heartwarming and festive as f--k – the novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Mammy Banter: The Secret Life of an Uncool Mum.

Loved it!

Honestly one of the best I’ve read (along with her first book) laughed, cried, and smiled along with the story. Entertaining, relatable and all the things you want in a good book. Such a big fan! Can’t wait for the 3rd!!

Amazing

I laughed until I cried. Then I actually cried. Absolutely brilliant. I love the normal, messy, happy family you have brought to life.

A good festive giggle

Wasn’t sure at first but then I was hooked and really enjoyed it. I don’t think it would have worked with anyone else narrating either. Real and very funny too (odd looks given when listening on the commute).
Treat yourself to some festive fun
