The Hungover Games Zusammenfassung

The Hungover Games: The gloriously funny Sunday Times bestselling memoir of motherhood Sophie Heawood

'Deftly explores expectations of modern womanhood . . . Full of adventure and awe' Dolly Alderton

People always said I'd find love where I least expected it. I always said they were idiots.


I had no idea how to commit to another human being.


I could barely commit to reading a magazine, and I wrote for magazines for a living. My specialist subject was celebrities, and my own relationships made their marriages look eternal.

I'd never paid a household bill that didn't mention bailiffs, and my idea of exercise was to go and stand outside a famous person's house and stare until I'd convinced myself that I lived in it.

But my life in LA was happy; free of care and consequence. That was, until I came down to earth - with a bump.

So this is the story of how I staggered from partying in Hollywood to bringing up a baby in Piss Alley, Dalston; how I never did find a copy of What To Expect When You Weren't Even Fucking Expecting To Be Expecting, and why paternity testing is not a good topic for a first-date conversation.

A deeply profound, laugh out loud Mother's Day gift for all parents, from shocked novices to experienced pros.

The Hungover Games Bewertungen

Sharply observed and funny... Indecently entertaining... Beautiful. -- Fiona Sturges * Guardian *
Funny, acerbic, sometimes despairing and brutally candid... A must-read for anyone out there, floundering, scared they're doing it wrong. The writing is great in The Hungover Games, but the humour and honesty are even better. -- Barbara Ellen * Observer *
Outrageously entertaining. -- David Nicholls * i Newspaper *
Brilliantly bawdy and movingly tender. A warm, generous and hilarious read, it's also a great listen: 2020 was the year I got into audiobooks and this one, read by the author herself, had me guffawing in public. -- Lynn Enright * Irish Times *Books of the Year* *
Honest, moving and funny... Brilliant... [Heawood] has written a tender book about parental love that she and her daughter should be proud of. -- Susannah Butler * Evening Standard *
