The book I wish I had read years ago. So much of this book resonated with my experiences as a new mother. I think all new mothers should read this book, to help them feel more 'normal' as well as a means of cutting through decades of parenting advice and philosophy.

An intensely personal, sometimes lightly flavoured with scientific readings, journey into motherhood. Radicalising in places, but sometimes a little too raw for me

Lucy Jones gives voice to so many mothers. She has been brave enough to say what so many of us wanted to say, but weren't heard, or couldn't put it into words. She has also given me alternative perspectives and new ways of thinking. A must read and definitely not just for mums.
