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

- '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
