The Rise And Fall Of A Yummy Mummy Summary

The Rise And Fall Of A Yummy Mummy by Polly Williams

For every mum who has trodden on one plastic brick too many, or looked at her phone instead of lovingly recording her little one's every moment, or poured a large wine because it's four o'clock on Friday. If you've ever shared a post from the Unmumsy Mum or giggled at Hurrah for Gin, this book is for you.

Amy Crane is in crisis. Six months after the birth of her baby, Amy still looks pregnant and can't remember the last time she had a wax, or an orgasm. Motherhood is stirring up disturbing questions about her own childhood. And she suspects her boyfriend is cheating. Enter Alice, yummy mummy superior, on a mission to transform Amy's body, and love life. As Amy swaps breast pads for Botox and climbs out of a vortex of self-doubt, her libido awakens from its long nap and things get rather more complicated ...

A wonderfully well-written, funny and sharp novel about the trials of playing hip happy families and the contradictions at the heart of modern motherhood.

The Rise And Fall Of A Yummy Mummy Reviews

Dissects the impossible myth of the yummy mummy with warmth, poignancy and humour. Polly Williams is a brilliant new talent * Sue Pearl, Editor, YOU magazine, MAIL ON SUNDAY *
This peek at the contradictory heart of modern mothering is clever, funny- and very true * Louise Chunn, editor, in STYLE *
As baby-sick lit takes over from chick lit as publishing's latest craze, the genre may well have found its Bridget Jones in Amy, the 31-year-old hero of journalist Polly William s' debut * MARIE CLAIRE *
Slickly written...For anyone about to have, or who has just had, a baby, it is a salutary reminder that there is life after nappies and broken nights. * THE TIMES *
