The latest novel from the hilarious Sunday Times No 1 bestselling Why Mummy series. It's almost Mummy's 50th birthday. The hot flushes have just started, and nowadays she barely recognises herself. She's been a wife and mother for so long that she can't quite remember what life was like pre-moppets (although they're more like giants now). Speaking of, Jane is constantly partying and naturally more interested in passing her driving test than her A-Levels. In fact, trying to get the kids through their exams at all is almost as excruciating as waiting for their results. Or sitting by their bedside when one of them has an utterly stupid accident (here's looking at you, Peter). And then there's Simon and his truly irritating girlfriend, constantly poking her nose in. Not that Mummy's new man is fairing much better. Coupled with the ongoing battle with the horrible HR woman, an impending partially empty nest and the stress of elderly parents, it's all getting a bit much. Can Mummy keep up the facade while keeping her family afloat as everyone starts drifting off in different directions? And more importantly, can she find the time to pour herself a large G+T along the way…?
