First-time mum Roxy feels perennially ticked off. She and her partner Jack have given up their London flat to try out village life in Riverside, with their 10-month-old daughter Joey. But their new house still looks like a building site and Roxy is struggling to cope with parenthood, which isn’t quite the Pampers Perfect experience she had hoped.
With no family or friends to turn to for help, Roxy sets up a weekly club in order to meet like-minded parents, and so begins The Pissed-Off Parents Club.

Mink Elliott's funny, feisty debut novel is perfect light-relief for anyone finding new parenthood less than easy-peasy'
