"Ignore everything you think you’re meant to be doing, and bunker down with this." (Better Reading)

Big Little Lies meets Marian Keyes with a dash of Donna Hay; a deliciously hilarious, honest, and heartfelt portrayal of modern-day motherhood and the saving grace of female friendship.

Grace Harkness looks like she has it all - two beautiful children, four cookbooks under her belt, and an idyllic beachside home #blessed. But add another baby on the way (oops), a spouse that is nowhere to be seen, and a relentless list of things she "should" be doing, and Grace is starting to unravel.

When the madness of modern-day motherhood finally pushes her to the brink, Grace and her friends decide to ditch the men in their lives, move in together, and create a "mummune" - sharing the load of chores, school pick-ups/drop-offs, and endless Life Admin. The new set-up seems like a dream, but is life in this utopian village all it’s cracked up to be?
