Publisher's Summary

What happens when you have an accidental baby on your own in your mid-30s?
The Hungover Games is the true story of one woman’s adventures in single-motherhood. It’s about what happens when Mr Right isn’t around, so you have a baby with Mr Wrong, a musician who tells you halfway through your pregnancy that he’s met someone else - just after you’ve given up your LA life and moved back to England to be with him, so you’re now six months up the duff and sleeping on a friend’s sofa in an art studio in Dalston.
It’s about what it’s like raising a baby on your own when you feel more at home on the dance floor than in the kitchen. It’s about how to invent the concept of a two-person family, when you grew up in a traditional nuclear unit and your kid’s friends all have happily married parents, too, and you are definitely not, in any way, ticking off the days until all those lovely couples get divorced.
Brilliantly funny, unflinchingly honest and emotionally raw, The Hungover Games is the true story of what happens if you’ve been looking for love your whole life and you finally find it where you least expect it.

Loved it
What a gorgeous memoir. Read beautifully by Sophie Heawood. Loved the perspective she offered on living a life she wasn't quite expecting. Written and rear with such love.

Honest and beautiful
When I finished The Hungover Games, I went straight back to the beginning to listen all over again. I wanted Sophie Heawood's voice to linger in my ear. I loved this book. If you are a chaotic hot mess, you will probably relate to Sophie's anecdotes , if not, you will be thoroughly entertained.
