Summary
Welcome to the jungle....
When you’ve grown up thinking your 20s are all about working hard, playing hard and trying not to get pregnant, life comes at you fast when you go from hump to bump.
So you thought adulthood would mean a high-flying career and a luxury lifestyle but instead have ended up with a Lycra-based wardrobe and a deep fear of what lies at the bottom of the ball-pit in soft play?
Join comedian Sophie McCartney as she voyages deep into the uncharted territories of mating, birthing, feral offspring, mums overdoing it at the watering hole and the perilous viper’s nest of the school WhatsApp group.
With laugh-out-loud humour and eye-watering honesty, Sophie shows how whether you’ve had a day full of whining or a night full of wine, there’s joy to be had in the perfectly imperfect wild ride into parenthood.
Critic reviews

"If you’re looking for the funniest mum on Instagram, you’ve found her!" (Mother & Baby)
"Brilliant! Painfully accurate and criminally funny. Like a chat with your most outrageous friend." (Ellie Taylor)

Easy listening laugh
A funny book, good, easy, listening. Enjoy the last bit where she changed track and talked about herself a bit more, rather than just what the kids were doing
