Publisher Description
'Refreshing and honest ... this isn't your standard mum memoir' Psychologies Magazine
How to hold it together, even when things are falling apart.
Laugh, cry and scream along the rollercoaster of family life as Rachaele Hambleton journeys through the parts nobody talks about; the 'wow' moments, triumphs, tears and tantrums. This book covers everything we don't teach our kids in school, understanding neurodiversity, having heartbreaking conversations and healing from being broken.
Rachaele's deeply personal story reveals the raw truths of parenting chaos, ever-changing family dynamics and the art of keeping it together against all odds. With unflinching honesty, and bags of heart and humour, this memoir shows real messy life and offers a lifeline for anyone struggling. Above all, it tells us we are not alone.
'In a world of social-media gloss, Hambleton [is] unusually frank about the mess of life' iNews
'Powerful and candid ... it will make you laugh and cry' Woman's Own

Amazing
A refreshing honest approach to parenting and all the trials and tribulations that goes alongside! Thank you for your brutal honesty and allowing us all a sigh of relief knowing parenting teenagers can be beyond tough!
Don’t bother. Rubbish!
Bought the 1st book years ago and followed on instagram. Still followed but not as regular as before. I actually bought this book a while back and just got round to reading and I wish I never! Limited use of vocabulary. ‘ Horrific’ ‘Sob’ ‘Vomiting’ to name a few. Very disappointing as now comes across as a narcissist bitter person. Especially to her mum and family. She may have mentioned she was abandoned at age of 4. Very much victim blaming & although taking some responsibility it’s very much a ‘them’ issue!! Seems fame & fortune changed this person but not for the better. I see there’s been another book out & a cost of £11.99 I won’t be buying if this drivel is anything to go by. Stick to doing what you do best in raising awareness for DV I’m afraid!
Incredible
The world would be a much better place if it was filled with people just like you. Amazing ❤️
