The long-awaited sequel to the number one bestselling THE BAD MOTHER'S HANDBOOK.

Before Yummy Mummies and Slummy Mummies, before the Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, before we wondered How She Does It, there was THE BAD MOTHER'S HANDBOOK. Hundreds of thousands of readers lived a year in the life of Charlotte, Karen and Nan as they struggled with becoming mothers for the first time.

And now they are back. Certainly older, probably not wiser, and definitely as hilariously catastrophic as before.

For all those who have asked how to be a woman, here is HOW TO BE...A BAD MOTHER.
