'Juliette Duffy is my new best friend. She says what all of us are thinking. Suzy K Quinn is the literary equivalent of hot chocolate ... ' - Liza Foreman, New York Times journalist
A cosy Christmas comedy that will make you laugh, cry and feel all warm inside.
BOOK DESCRIPTION
"I will do anything for my little girl. Even spend Christmas with her father ... "
Juliette Duffy is struggling with motherhood. First, there are the little things. She suspects most mothers drink fewer pints of Guinness than she does. And don't do emergency clothing washes with wet-wipes and Febreeze. Or eat their child's advent calendar chocolates, then replace them with Mentos.
Then there's the big thing. Most mothers live with the father of their child.
Sadly, Nick, did not turn out to be the supportive, bread-winning family man type. In fact, he was a promiscuous teenage boy, cunningly disguised as a middle-aged actor in tight jeans and bright trainers.
Juliette is now a single mother, entering blended family territory. She has a new boyfriend. Nick has a girlfriend. And they're all going to spend Christmas together.
But how are they going to survive Christmas Day when Nick keeps telling Juliette he wants her back?
Nick had better not mess up Christmas day. Or he's going to lose some jingle balls.
The fourth feel-good book in the Bad Mother series is a complete novel in its own right, and can be enjoyed as a standalone story.
What Readers are Saying ...
Lovely read
If there was such thing as comfort food in book form, this would be it. It's like shepherd's pie on a cold winters evening. I sat in my garden on an unusually warm sunny day and read this in one sitting. Really enjoyed it :) - Dr Kate Richmond

Brilliant ... Just Brilliant
I don't normally write reviews, but on this occasion I had to. This is not my normal genre, but it looked fun. Couldn't put it down. Read the book from start to finish in one sitting. Funny, sad, hysterical, normal, crazy... I could go on but need to download the next book from this wonderfully entertaining and fresh new to me, author. Recommend for anyone who needs a lift in spirit of just an entertaining read. Please, Suzy, keep writing, I am hooked. - Amazon Customer
Amazing
This book has made me laugh out loud to the point of embarrassment and I stayed up all night reading it, this book is highly addictive once you start to get into some parts are boring but most are amazing.
