Three women. Five Kids. One House

Erica knows her suggestion sounds extreme, but when her nanny leaves without notice, she’s desperate. When she and Louise move into Polly’s enormous but run-down house, they must admit that life’s much easier when the childcare and workload are shared.

At first, communal living seems like the answer to all their prayers, but resentment starts to grow as they judge each other’s parenting styles and bicker over cleaning, cooking and whose turn it is to buy toilet roll.

As one woman falls for a handsome colleague, another resorts to spying on her husband, and a third fights to keep a dark secret, they need each other more than ever. But can Polly, Louise and Erica keep their friendships strong, or will their perfect mumtopia fall apart?

A genuinely hilarious debut novel, that's perfect for fans of Marion Keyes, Fiona Gibson, and Sophie Kinsella.
