Time Out
Summary
‘It’s just a phase,’ they said. ‘These are the happiest years of your life,’ they said.... Mother of one and professional writer Saoirse (pronounced Seersha, not Searcy - thanks a bunch Game of Thrones!) is still adjusting to the demands of motherhood, four years after the birth of her daughter, Anna. Living in the claustrophobic London suburb of Woodvale, and being surrounded by passive-aggressive mum-wars, isn’t helping. Neither is her increasingly pent-up anger at her once-perfect husband. Her only comrade in arms, best friend Bea, is the one thing keeping her sane. When Saoirse’s agent asks her to pitch for a book, she is horrified to discover the topic is motherhood. How can she possibly write a ‘warts and all’ account of being a mother without giving away what it’s really like? Laugh-out-loud funny, painfully well-observed, but with an unmistakable warmth and unforgettable characters, this is the perfect listen for anyone who desperately needs a break! The novel may or may not have been inspired by real life....

The Juggle
Summary
'You can have it all’, they said. ‘Happy children, happy marriage, great career - no problem,’ they said.... Mother-of-one Saoirse is just about holding it all together - combining part-time work with the school run, while her husband, David, gets to focus on his career. But when David loses his job, everything has to change. With no hesitation, Saoirse suggests she takes on the role of main breadwinner. After all, how hard can it be? And when a new client offers her a life-changing sum of money, Saoirse can look the other over-achieving Woodvale school-run mums in the eye with pride. But there’s a problem with keeping too many balls in the air - eventually one is bound to drop. And when that happens - well, who knows what the consequences could be.... Laugh-out-loud funny, achingly relatable, but with a heart of gold and warmth running through every minute. This is the perfect listen for anyone who has way too many balls in the air! The novel may or may not have been inspired by real life....
