I enjoyed the premise, as I'm a mom around the main character's age and feel the same about never making time for myself. Alot of the references I understood and made me nostalgic. It was a cute, light read. I don't think it's something I'd read again but I did get a couple laughs and some heartfelt moments from this book. It is a bit confusing with the derry/Irish words, but there is a little reference to these words at the end of the book (which I didn't notice until the end) so I just kind of read these words and didn't completely understand what it meant. I loved the premise and the main character finding to love herself more while realizing sometimes things are better as they are. Also, after I reading this I realized the Author was popular on social media. I could see her wit inside the writing so I'm sure her social media platforms are a bit funny! The ethos of Mammy Banter was to go against the grain of social media, with no product placement or air brushing." I enjoyed this read-no I didn't love it, and it won't become a comfort read, but I very well will most likely pull this out one more time and give it a re-read. The perfect summer beach read. I posted five or six and then one went viral. I was getting messages from America and Australia and all round the world and the viewings just kept going up and up and up.

Then there are the two boys, Nathan (5) and Jax (2) who are everything you expect two boys of that age to be, a lot of bodily fluids, inquisitive minds and in Nathan's case an uncanny ability to repeat the most inappropriate things to his teacher at school! a b Butler, Janice (2022-05-02).

I absolutely loved this book and really wanted to take my time to read it. Totally relatable in all aspects of losing and finding yourself as a Mum and the journey you embark on to reclaim the individual you need to be. Keen to maintain a work-life balance, Serena has even taken advice from her fictional creation Tara, in taking time out for herself and building new friendships. Serena Terry is the content creator for the TikTok channel “Mammy Banter”, and the author of two books: Mammy Banter - The Secret Life of an Uncool Mum [1] and The Sh!te before Christmas. [2] [3] Online presence [ edit ] Some of the videos were really trying to step away from this idea that everybody is perfect by saying, 'Come on! How do you have a 'summer' body?' It is really poking fun at all that," she says in the soft Derry accent that seems to lend itself instinctively to comedy.For a first time writer Terry manages to write in a style that flowed and showed humor when it was meant. Yet I think I only finished because I hoped Tara would come to her sense and see she was the problem. That it was down to her, not to get a new image, but a new approach to her problems. unfortunately this only came about in a miner way. It is mentioned that the boss is a sex pest and is always sexual harassing the women in the office Tara condemns the other women for not coming forward to report their boss. Then immediately follows that up by saying { she would report it but unlike the other women in the office she has kids to worry about and cant afford to lose her job} because the other women in the office can afford to lose their jobs?! and that their lives are less important because they don't have children?! There for it is their fault the boss has not been reported because they should be willing to risk their job to report him?! ugh! a b "Serena Terry aka 'Mammy Banter' to release second book". www.derryjournal.com. 2022-07-18 .
