About this book
Hysterical important moving wonderful Sara Pascoe Im Jen Brister stand-up comedian middle-aged adolescent and more recently a mum. But not that mum Im the other one. Confused? Lets back up a bit. Two years ago my partner (a woman were not solicitors) gave birth to twins. Yes. Yes. Already theres a lot to take in here: gay mums twins solicitors (I know! Believe me Im still reeling myself.) Like every new parent I had absolutely no clue what I was doing. Add gay and non-biological to the mix and what do you get? Not a weird box of detergent but a panicked beige lesbian desperately googling Will my babies love me? at 3 a.m. This is a book for any parent who feels they dont fit the mould of a traditional 2.4 family. Stand-up comedian Jen Brister takes a very funny very honest look at life as a parent: from IVF awfulness to crying over the pages of sleep training manuals. As the other mother she has the perfect vantage point for us to laugh and cry alongside her.
