Summary

Welcome to a hen do where revenge is served colder than a frozen margarita…

Cara Carmichael’s bestie is finally getting hitched, and she’s over the moon because it means one thing… Whoah, they’re going to Ibiza! Mums on Tour: ditching kids, partners and better judgement for a long-weekend of sun, sea, and sex…y support pants. What could possibly go ‘Pete Tong’?

Lazy days, crazy nights and child-free hangovers sound like hedonistic heaven – but it turns out you can get into a hell of a lot of trouble on the party island where rules are meant to be broken.

For Cara, it’s a chance to forget about her messy divorce and explosive feud with a stardom-seeking sister and Pina-Colada pickled mother. Swapping emotional baggage for 10kg of hand luggage, she soon realises even on holiday, the darkness of your past has an alarming way of catching up with you.

When a twist of fate causes feathers to fly – a dangerous opportunity for retribution arises. Faced with secrets, lies, and betrayal – does it pay to be a good egg, or do bad chicks reign supreme?

Four friends, three nights, two murders – one heck of an adventure. A rollocking rollercoaster ride from Ibiza to Vegas, via Cheshire, Mother Hens will make you laugh, wince, and wonder what any of us are really capable of when push comes to shove…

I don’t know why but I just loved it!

Not my usual listen, extremely absurd, unrealistic and quite frankly disturbing story line, but I just absolutely loved it! Perhaps not to some peoples tastes but I personally adore Laura Brydon, I think she is an excellent narrator! If you’re on the fence give it a go, it’s so strange it’s genius!

Really surprised with where it went

Not my normal genre but loved this. An easy listen with surprising twists in a mums on tour holiday! I admittedly didn’t read any blurb - just listened because I follow Sophie online - glad I did! Hoping for more fiction!

It started off so well

It starts off so we’ll and it’s funny, and relatable at the start, even 1/2 way through then it gets totally far fetched. It’s a shame I too wanted to love it as I love Sophie’s content and you could see that at the beginning, but it went so off track for me.
Ironically It’s an easy holiday book.

Easy listen

I love Sophie’s humour. She’s relatable and down to earth. This story was fairly far-fetched but really easy to listen to while driving. It was a bit of lighthearted fun and I will look forward to her (hopefully) next story.

Story a bit far fetched and narrator just awful!

It started off quite promising but become very far fetched and ridiculous very quickly! It was the narrator that really spoilt it for me, her voices for the characters waa grating especially the mother's one! Such a shame as i was looking forward to the book, maybe if I'd not had the audible I would have enjoyed it more?

Mad

Really enjoyed the silliness of it all. Bit different, and the narrator did eventually grow on me with the voices! I'd listen to more!

Far fetched but very funny

Really funny book, so far fetched but very funny. Some parts very relatable to the normal woman. Would recommend if looking for something light hearted.

Narration hard to listen to

I was really looking forward to this book and could probably get on board with the absurdity of the plot were it not for the awful narration. The voices of the characters grated the whole way through to the point I almost gave up on it. Such a shame as I’m sure much of the humour felt tedious rather than fun because of the delivery. Think this would be a fun read rather than listen.
