I read everything by Lucy Mangan, she is one of the funniest writers in Britain. -- Jenny Colgan
Utterly, utterly perfect and brilliant - I think it is, simply, a new classic, and the book every woman will be able to trust to make her happy when she picks it up. Lucy Mangan is a fucking genius. SO MUCH WISDOM IN IT. SO MUCH ANGER. SO MUCH LOVE. SO MUCH LOL. It's just exquisite -- Caitlin Moran
Compelling, connecting humour from start to finish ... motherhood made funny -- Helen Lederer
Warm, witty and invigorated by righteous anger -- Amber Pearson * Mail on Sunday *
A comic update on EM Delafield's Diary Of A Provincial Lady that will hit home with anyone who hates the verb "to multitask" -- 'Books to make people laugh' * Stylist *
Family life under the microscope - scalpel sharp and gloriously real. Pure Mangan: witty and wickedly funny -- Jenny Eclair
Lucy Mangan nails the absurd pitfalls of modern life/marriage/small children so completely and honestly, but with a lightness of touch that means the overall effect is calming and nourishing and feels like having a really good chat with a kind and loving friend. And so funny! I was shaking the bed with my laughter. -- Cathy Rentzenbrink
A glorious, outrageously funny retelling of E.M. Delafield's Diary of a Provincial Lady. At once a celebration of the joy of family life and a cry of anguish at the utter hell of it. Laugh out loud, compulsive reading. -- Nina Stibbe
I was crying with laughter reading so much of it ... full of pure simmering rage -- Emma Barnett * BBC Woman's Hour *
This romp through the chaos of family life will have you wincing and rejoicing in equal measure -- Susie Mesure * iPaper *
