Reviews

As hilarious as it is spot-on
*Mail on Sunday*

O'Farrell is a consistently humorous writer with an acute ear for the absurdities of middle class pretension. It's hard to fault his satire on competitive parenting or his conclusions regarding social inequalities
*Mail on Sunday*

O'Farrell is one of the best contemporary satirists in the business and he has middle class pushy mothers down to a tee in this latest toe-curling, hackle-rising chronicle of hyper-parenting... The one-liners are sublime and the comedic situations utterly hilarious. Don't miss this
*Daily Record*

O'Farrell has scored a bullseye with this satirical salvo... Taps into Middle England's neuroses with terrific wit
*The Herald*
