Three women, five kids, one house—there’s going to be a lot of dirty laundry . . . “A darkly funny and very readable tale.”—Stylist
We’ve got the balance all wrong. Instead of living with our partners, struggling to do everything by ourselves and only seeing each other now and then, we should do it the other way round. We should live together and see them now and then . . .
Erica knows her suggestion sounds extreme, but when her nanny leaves without notice, she’s extremely desperate. Polly and Louise aren’t convinced, but when circumstances force them to move into Polly’s enormous but rundown house, they have to admit that life’s much easier when the childcare and workload is shared.
At first, communal living seems like the answer to all their prayers—childcare on tap, rotas for cleaning, and someone always available to cook dinner. No more last-minute pizza delivery! But over time, resentment starts to grow as they judge each other’s parenting styles and bicker over everything down to whose turn it is to buy toilet paper.
And as one woman has her head turned by a handsome colleague, one resorts to spying on her husband, and another fights to keep a dark secret, they need each other more than ever. But can Polly, Louise and Erica keep their friendship and relationships strong? Or will their perfect mumtopia fall apart?
