The Secret Life of an Uncool Mum: The most funny Sunday Times bestselling debut novel about motherhood you’ll read this year

Product Information

All these opportunities have arisen from sitting down and looking up TikTok and thinking I could do that. Having seen family and friends go through some tough stuff with their kids I can relate to Tara from and outsider perspective. My daily entertainment at the minute, comes from Mammy Banter – relatable, funny, comedy sketches created by Derry mother Serena Terry. 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.

However, yes this character does catch a break, yes this novel leads to happiness I just personally struggled with it. Ebooks fulfilled through Glose cannot be printed, downloaded as PDF, or read in other digital readers (like Kindle or Nook). Also, I love it when the author narrates their own novels, but I found the accent quite strong that some of the wording, when pronounced, sounded like something else was being said. I found myself smiling a lot listening to it, it’s a very comforting read and would be a perfect book to pack for holidays.

It would definitely help if you would not just say she is fine, or nice, but instead gave a bigger compliment. Yet I think I only finished because I hoped Tara would come to her sense and see she was the problem. By page 100 Tara's continued use of the word "fetuses" to describe her colleagues who are probably only five or so years younger than her but makes a big deal out of it because SHE is feeling old and the other women in the office are child free which is to be mentioned every five seconds.

This is a laugh out loud, hilarious account of the life of Tara, a married, 36-year-old mother of 3. I will add that Paul is an absolute diamond in this book, he is patient, and loving and lets Tara have her “moment”. I wanted to put more time into making Mammy Banter content, but I also needed to pay my bills at the end of the month without selling my soul to the advertising gods," adds Serena, who decided not to monetise the content of her social media channel. Some real laugh out loud moments that are totally relatable to any working mom who feels they have lost themselves somewhere along the way.In addition to her work on TikTok and two books, Terry has made a cameo for the Channel 4 series Derry Girls as an RUC officer, [6] a public speaking session in Belfast to talk about "resilience, mental health and online trolls" [4] and a stand-up in Edinburgh. Her topics are wide ranging and relatable, from homework struggles and fussy eating to the trials of swimming with kids, parent-teacher meetings, dealing with teenagers and first day back at work blues. This was a quick, easy to read, hard to put down, hilarious and heartwarming look at life after children.
