Review

If your maternity leave was a blissful whirlwind of shopping, newborn routines and baby yoga, then The Pi**ed-Off Parents Club won't mean much. If, however, you're one of us, oft-spotted in Tesco in a sleep-deprived daze, attracting looks of disdain over your child's contempt for quiet, you'll be rooting for the heroine, Roxy, all the way. Mink Elliott's funny, feisty debut novel is perfect light-relief for anyone finding new parenthood less than easy-peasy' JANE COSTELLO (bestselling author of Bridesmaids) ('The totally hilarious, but wickedly ugly truth! Roxy is my New Best Friend. Be warned, you may find this so addictive you’ll have to start a P.O.P. club of your own . . . and take up smoking again and eat way too many HobNobs. The Pi**ed-off Parents Club )

A refreshingly original novel' Mother & Baby ('This laugh-out-loud novel had us hooked!' Hot Stars (Star magazine) )

A funny take on first-time motherhood . . . A light look at how to fight low self-esteem' Sainsbury's Magazine ('A therapeutic read for any new mum whose life has been turned upside down by the arrival of a baby' Family Interest )

A funny tale of one lonely woman and her Benny Hill-lookalike baby' Belfast Telegraph

I was hooked 3 Mar 2010
Format:Paperback
I loved this book. I was hooked from the first page and I've laughed my way through it as well as giving many sighs of recognition at the author's observations about parenthood. I identified with Roxy and really like the way things aren't sugar coated for us. At the same time though there's a happy ending and a sense of resolution which left me feeling really uplifted. I'll definitely be reading this author's next offering. Great stuff.

Mostly enjoyable 2 Jan 2011
By Moonlit TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
This is an enjoyable book for the most part. It is quite amusing at times and most parents will recognise many of the ambivalent feelings that the heroine Roxie has about parenthood. It's refreshing in that Roxie, unlike most heroines in this type of novel, doesn't have a string of men lusting after her and at 11 stone +, her weight problem is a real one, not the imaginary one of many 'string bean' protagonists. Struggling with her relationship, becoming a parent and a move to the country, Roxie sets up a Pissed off Parents Club and through this begins to cope better with her problems. Along the way there are some amusing incidents but the main problem is that there just isn't much of a plot to keep the novel racing along. Some decent subplots might have helped. So, a good read all in all but I do feel it could have been much better.

I'm never attracted to chick-lit novels, but the title and the jacket of this book really stood out on the shelves and I'm so pleased I bought this. It manages to be both insightful and laugh-out-loud funny, the type of read you can devour in a few sittings. I found it very true to life - it could almost have been written about me, so I take my hat off to the author for writing about the side of new motherhood that is seldom talked about.

Didn't pee me off!
I did find the book was quite a slow starter for me. We are introduced to Roxy and her daughter Joey straight away but I just could not warm to Roxy as a mother at all. Read more

Fantasic and so true in places.
