Welcome to the jungle…
When you’ve grown up thinking your twenties 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.

I love her take on life, love, children, poopy nappies, holidays and everything in-between.
Her trip with the children had me stuffing the pillow into my mouth, in bed reading this isn't a good idea with hubster snoring next too me, because everything she said was VERY true! Why we only had one (she's now 27 ;) )
The serious bit in the whole book, miscarriage, was wonderfully, and thoughtfully written. I have a few friends that this has happened too, and she's right, we don't talk about this enough.
But to have to go through this in a pandemic, when she wasn't allowed her husband by her side, was disgusting. Any women that went through the same as Sophie at that time, you are stronger than I ever will be.
I adore this book and can't wait for the her next adventure into the written word.
BUY THE BOOK!
It’s all written with a brilliant sense of humour which just keeps you hooked in to keep reading.. so many mums, and non-mums, will relate to the real down-to-earth tales from Sophie. It is literally laugh out loud funny, my husband kept checking in to see what was so funny.. (much of which I didn’t dare repeat!)
As well as the humour, the raw and honest insights around growing up with expectations of being a mum and the reality of it actually happening (and some of the heartbreaking and scary things that can happen too) make this book such an incredible read.
Loved every second of it - Sophie’s definitely a rising star in comedy!
I took my new purchase on our first family holiday abroad a few weeks ago...I'm the proud owner of a nonstop talking 5 year old, so was a little concerned I may not get any reading in - I did! I got to page 43!!
This book oozes hilariously funny real life situations from the first page and carries on throughout. I have never laughed out loud so much reading a book before - it's that funny I read paragraphs out to my partner, he also said how well written it is!!
Thank you Sophie for being a speaker of truth, a real human being, a genuine mum who says it exactly how it is.
