Description
The irresistible, laugh-out-loud debut novel hailed as "a literary sensation to rival Bridget Jones."( Anna Wintour, Vogue)
Lucy Sweeney has three sons, a husband on a short fuse, and a tendency toward domestic disaster. Lucy is living in a constant state of emergency, and the white lies to cover up the trail of "Slummy Mummy" destruction are escalating. When she begins a flirtation with Sexy Domesticated Dad, disaster looms, making it hard for her to remember why she exchanged her career and sanity for this. Pitch-perfect and satisfyingly smart, Slummy Mummy is a hilarious novel about the dilemmas of modern marriage and motherhood for those who never discovered their domestic goddess within.
