This book was a warm and in-depth look at motherhood and the wide range of emotions and states of mind encountered on the journey. I loved to read Olivia’s story. I found it honest and real and fascinating. I enjoyed some of the ‘How to’s’ and ‘tips’ sections, but I really preferred to hear all about the author’s own experience. I like that the focus of the book is about not judging other mum’s and standing together as women and being there for each other.

I like that the focus of the book is about not judging other mum’s and standing together as women and being there for each other. I was really interested in the Post-Natal psychosis section and I would have enjoyed an expanded version of her account, but obviously it was brave enough to share anything at all. I have recommended this book to my new mumma friends and I have found this book informative even as I am now pregnant with my third. I found it refreshing the way that the author kept giving the message to give yourself permission to take it easy! Highly recommend this book!!

Wise, witty and reassuring As a new mum it was just what I needed in so many ways. I love the conversational style and length; it made the book easy to read which is essential for sleep-deprived parents.

I enjoyed this so much and I don’t have kids. I would love to come back and read this in the future if I’m lucky enough to become a mom.

Read the first 3 chapters and cried 5 times. I have returned the copy I was reading to the library and have purchased my own. No need to damage their copy with my many "this is so true, it's almost painful to read" tears. Where was this book 3 years ago? Read the first 3 chapters and cried 5 times.
