About this listen
Ever had the pleasure of collecting your children from the school playground? Even if you haven't, this is a hilarious must-listen.
Fed up with the playground mafia at her children’s school, Rachel Young is desperate for a change. With her family and various pets in tow, a picture-perfect village in the countryside beckons. There, Rachel’s children will be able to keep chickens and skip through fields, and she’ll bid farewell to the botoxed, fake-Gucci wearing Mumzillas forever. But at the new school the mums are even worse, and before long, Rachel finds herself contending with a motley crew including Mrs High School Musical, The International Sex God and The Frisky Pensioner. While the children are practicing their sums and perfecting their reading, Rachel is learning some harsh lessons on the other side of the school gates - and ruffling plenty of feathers along the way.

9 hours of my life I will never get back
Humour - humourless. Main character gutless. I won’t be listening to the sequels - I know what will happen and there are too many other books to listen to.
Well narrated and performed.

Frustrating Main Character
I really wanted to like this book. The narrator is one of my favourites, but even she could not save this book. The main character is a doormat for a mean mum/forced best friend. All I wanted to do was reach in to the book and get her to say no. It was tough to finish and I was left disappointed.
