The Secret Life of a Slummy Mummy (by Fiona Neill)

I had not heard of Fiona Neill, although apparently she’s journalist with reputable newspapers, and has written five popular novels. I spotted ‘The Secret Life of a Slummy Mummy’ on a church bookstall not long ago, and thought it looked light and fluffy, just the thing for a relaxing read. The blurb on the back told me that Lucy Sweeney was feeling the strain of motherhood, feeling rather inferior to the ‘yummy mummies’ she encountered in the school yard.

I picked it up to read a few days ago...
