In this hilarious second novel from the author of a bestselling hit, we follow Mummy as she navigates the chaos of family life during the holidays. On the first day, she suggests a visit to a stately home, only to be reminded of the challenges that come with small children in such environments. Instead of the anticipated awe, she finds herself frantically warning her kids not to touch the fragile exhibits while dealing with disapproving onlookers. Mummy's world is further complicated by her tech-savvy son, Peter, who is glued to his iPad, and her daughter, Jane, aspiring to be an Instagram influencer. With Daddy frequently away on business, Mummy feels the strain on her marriage, while the house descends into chaos, complete with a growing forest of mold. The only constant is Judgy, the loyal terrier. Amidst this turmoil, Mummy takes on a new challenge at a trendy tech start-up. However, she grapples with the reality of being a forty-two-year-old trying to maintain her image as a single party girl, all while managing family obligations. Can she uphold this facade, wear comfy trousers to work, and find a moment to enjoy a large G+T? The odds are stacked against her.
