Reviews for The Secret Life of a Slummy Mummy
This slice of angst and affluenza is several cuts above the rest ... witty, observant and supremely intelligent
The Times
There is something of Bridget Jones's hopeless-but-adorable quality about Lucy ... Neill's hilarious depiction of the manifold daily perils of stay-at-home motherhood is so convincing that it soon looks like the most challenging job in the world - and Lucy is all the more sympathetic simply for staying afloat
Daily Telegraph
If you're struggling to find your own inner yummy mummy, this is for you. After a few pages you'll want to make heroine Lucy Sweeney your best mate as her trials and tribulations wash away your own troubles
Woman
Above the usual class of post-baby fiction...an intelligent and funny look at modern parenting
Eve
This will have you laughing out loud with empathy
