The Pissed-Off Parents Club by Mink Elliott
First-time mum Roxy feels perennially ticked off. She and her partner Jack have left London for a new life in the village of Riverside, with their ten-month-old daughter Joey. But their new house resembles a building site and Roxy is struggling to cope with parenthood. With no family or friends to turn to for help, Roxy sets up a club in order to meet like-minded parents, and so begins The Pissed-Off Parents Club. Hilarious and refreshingly original, this is a story telling it like it is -- for mums and dads of all descriptions.
If your maternity leave was a blissful whirlwind of shopping, newborn routines and baby yoga, then The Pi**ed-Off Parents Club won't mean muchIf, however, you're one of us, oft-spotted in Tesco in a sleep-deprived daze, attracting looks of disdain over your child's contempt for quiet, you'll be rooting for the heroine, Roxy, all the way. Mink Elliott's funny, feisty debut novel is perfect light-relief for anyone finding new parenthood less than easy-peasy' JANE COSTELLO (bestselling author of Bridesmaids) * 'The totally hilarious, but wickedly ugly truth!
