Take Mum Out

“What do you need a boyfriend for? You’re a mum.”

The hilariously uplifting and relatable from the Sunday Times bestseller and author of Kindle sensation The Woman Who Ran Away from Everything. Perfect for fans of Tracy Bloom, Kate Long and Tess Stimson.

Three blind dates

Two teenage boys messing up her plans

And one man who'll melt Alice's heart.

'You need to get back in the saddle…' Alice despises that phrase. She's fine being single – with two slothful teenage boys and a meringue business to run, she has enough on her plate without negotiating the troublesome world of modern dating.

However, Alice's three best friends have other ideas. Each one will present her with an utterly delicious, eligible man – all Alice has to do is pick her favourite.

Perfect for fans of Tracy Bloom, Kate Long and Tess Stimson.
