About this audiobook
New term. New dramas. New friendships. And that’s just the parents... Hilarious and entertaining, The Misadventures of a Playground Mother is perfect for fans of Fiona Gibson and Tracy Bloom.
After a year of country living, Rachel is finally getting into the swing of things. Her kids are happy and content at the village school, and she’s managed to navigate the choppy waters of the playground mafia. Or... so she thought. When playground mum Penelope moves herself and her kids into Rachel’s home, after discovering her husband has been having an affair, Rachel knows she must ask them politely to leave. The problem is, Penelope never takes no for an answer. As Rachel deals with Penelope, she also meets new mum Melanie. Melanie is a breath of fresh air, but her arrival sends ripples of gossip through the playground. Melanie has a few secrets, and it seems she’s not the only one...

After book one, I didn’t think Rachel’s antics could get any funnier, but I was obviously wrong. This is the second instalment of what can only be described as the hell it is to be a mother and being judged by other parents. It’s not all about Rachel’s antics and run ins at the school gates though, but of those that surround her too. From Penelope having sex with a Johnny Vegas look a like in the toilets at speed dating to Botox Bernie and a frisky pensioner. Don’t be fooled by this, it’s no
