I Will Survive

A laugh-out-loud, heart-warming read for every parent who has struggled bleary-eyed through toddler tantrums, school fancy dress fails and found unlikely friendships over wine and cake As a single mom, Frankie's bold and brave, and right now she's winning at life – isn't she? Underneath her big smile and daring outfits, she's hiding a secret. Her five-year-old son Liam is awesome. But life as a solo parent is tough. Her job as a barmaid sucks, her meddling mother is taking over and she's far from living her best life. Maybe she's lost her way and starting to feel… lonely. When Frankie's overbearing mother breaks her leg and has to go and live with her saintly sister, it's time for Frankie to hit shuffle and shake things up. Because she wants to turn things around for the little boy who holds the keys to her broken heart. Surrounded by perfect mothers, Frankie realises she needs some real mum friends to get her through the repetitive school runs and red-faced dating disasters. The kind of people who won't judge your shop bought cakes and will bring wine to your door, just because. So Frankie sweeps up anxious Kate and organised Alison in her whirlwind. As the trio face the troubles and trials of motherhood, they learn that parenting is about taking one day at a time. And together they can wing it through anything, can't they? Perfect for fans of The UnMumsy Mum, Why Mummy Drinks and Poppy Dolan. A 5-star must-read: 'Oh my goodness this book is so so funny! It will have you laughing until you cry!...
