A fantastic debut novel that takes a refreshing look at family, modern life, and the joyless merits of quinoa. Monday morning can't get any worse for harassed mum-of-four Jools Campbell when, after a frantic school run, she's cornered in the supermarket by pompous celebrity chef Tommy McCoy, who starts criticising the contents of her trolley. Apparently the fact that she doesn't make her own bread or buy organic is tantamount to child abuse. In a hurry and short of patience, she berates McCoy for judging her when she hasn't the time or the money to feed her family in line with his elitist ideals. Unbeknownst to Jools, her rant has been filmed and immediately goes viral on YouTube, making her a reluctant celebrity overnight. With McCoy determined to discredit her by delving into her personal life, Jools decides it's time to fight her corner in the name of all the fraught mums out there who are fed up with being made to feel bad by food snobs like him. Armed with some fish fingers and her limited cooking repertoire, Jools must negotiate the unfamiliar world of celebrity while staying true to her instincts as a mum.

shawnmooney @Lindy I don't know what it is but it doesn't sound very good. I will stick with my Burger King Double Whoppers I think. :) 8y
SusanInTiburon @Lindy @shawnmooney You guys are funny! 8y
shawnmooney @SusanInTiburon We're a laff riot hey? Lol.@Lindy shall we take our show on the road? Start up a YouTube channel? :) 8y
Lindy @shawnmooney @SusanInTiburon If we were doing a joint book podcast, it might be like The Readers, with strong opposing tastes some of the time, and agreement on other books. It could be fun. 😀 8y
SusanInTiburon Maybe if I squeeze my eyes shut and click my heels together three times while I wish for it ... 8y
shawnmooney @lindy I think our maun disagreements would be over diet. LOL. I'm not aware of any books that we've had radically different opinions on. Which ones I wonder? :-) 8y
Lindy @shawnmooney Maybe this is another diet example, but I was thinking of 8y
shawnmooney @lindy Yeah I am in the where's-the-beef minority when it comes to that one! :) 8y
