'Mandy's perspective on home life and all its complications is delightfully unconventional and, above all, wickedly funny. Her humorous take on the bizarre events and mundanities of daily life are honestly and sharply observed - whether it is trying to revive her children's dying guinea pig, coping with their Facebook friends, explaining the dangers of sex and drugs (while hoping desperately they don't find out about her own past indiscretions), battling against head lice and the politics of lunch-making, railing against being a human taxi or struggling to regain her own disappearing self-identity.'
