Mammy Banter
The Secret Life of an Uncool Mum
From the creator of viral Tiktok sensation, @MammyBanter, comes a hilarious warts-and-all novel about modern motherhood - and how having it all sometimes isn't what you think it might be.
She used to want it all. Now she just wants a nap.
Tara Gallagher is knackered. She used to dream of being Beyoncé but suddenly she's thirty-six - with three kids, a loving husband, a very boring job - and instead of headlining Glastonbury, she's in her pyjamas on a Friday night, watching Gogglebox.
It's time for a mammy makeover. She's going to show her teenage daughter she's still cool. She's going to show her husband she's still an absolute ride. She's going to show her colleagues she's still a Boss Bish.
But most of all, she's going to prove to herself that she can still be a mum, still work full time, and still be Beyoncé...

Tara is having a bit of a midlife crisis, every female around her at work is younger than her and she is starting to feel old. She tries so hard to be cool and youthful for her daughter however, her daughter thinks she is embarrassing. No matter what Tara does it seems she just cannot get it right with her. especially with the party, change in hair colour etc. Trust me I have been there. It gets better!
This is not just a story of Tara and her relationship with her daughter, but a story of Tara’s daily life, which is so comical in places and her whole family and work life and acceptance.
It was written well and is very true to real life. I am so glad I picked it up. I haven’t had full belly laughs from a book in a long time. It was a light read and so funny. People, you need to read this!
