No subject is for her off limits, from leaking breasts to dubious stains. But the more important thing by far is that its very funny and even sardonic This is a very analogue book, somehow, and all the better and more uplifting for it. Mothers, log off! Heres the antidote to all that striving; here is the muddle that will set your minds at rest, even if it wont actually rock your baby to sleep. -- Rachel Cooke * Observer, *Graphic novel of the month* * The most accurate account of becoming a parent I have ever read. It's fabulous. -- Philippa Perry, author of THE BOOK YOU WISH YOUR PARENTS HAD READ This book is a perfect testament to the wild ride of early parenting. It's tender, moving, beautifully drawn and also, extremely hilarious. Parents everywhere: you will feel very very seen. -- Isabel Greenberg, author of THE ONE HUNDRED NIGHTS OF HERO The most hilarious, wonderful, poignant, powerful, insightful and relatable book on the wild world of early parenting I have ever read. Barnicoat's fantastic illustrations and wry humour come together to create something brilliant that I will be recommending to everyone. It made me laugh, weep, cheer and howl. It is essential reading for parents and their peers. -- Nell Frizzell, author of THE PANIC YEARS A corrective to decades of misty-eyed depictions of motherhood bloody, sweet, bleak and joyful Her account is intimate and granular It is also very, very funny * New Statesman * I couldn't love this book more. So clever, so funny, so astute, so healing. Becky Barnicoat is a stone cold genius. I will put this book in the hands of every new mother I know. -- Lucy Jones, author of MATRESCENCE [ A] very funny, sardonic book an analogue antidote to the Instagram version of motherhood * Observer, *Books of the Year* * A marvel. A moving, honest memoir; a hilarious comedy routine; a parenting guide which tells you all the stuff the rest somehow seem to leave out. Above all, it is the most extraordinary masterclass in cartooning. If you know a new parent, believe me: they need this book as urgently as they need a home-made lasagne. -- Stephen Collins, author of THE GIGANTIC BEARD THAT WAS EVIL Beckys cartoons about parenting make me cry and laugh, often simultaneously. Never self-pitying or twee, as so much writing about parenting can be. Just totally honest and wise and true. -- Hadley Freeman, author of HOUSE OF GLASS Wow! This book is stellar - brave, brutal and laugh-out-loud hilarious, yet ultimately sincere and tender. A total winner! -- Joff Winterhart, author of DRIVING SHORT DISTANCES
