The Mummy Bloggers

I saw this on NetGalley and immediately knew I wanted to read it. So thank you to NetGalley for the advance copy and making my little bookworm heart so happy!

I am by no means a mommy blogger…but do I follow a few? Yes. Have I been influenced? *says yes while surrounded by a pile silk hair ties and Stasher bags that I apparently desperately needed…*

Goodreads Synopsis: “Sometimes life behind the screen is not as rosy as it seems... 

Meet three Mummy Bloggers - each of them followed, idolised, imitated, taunted and trolled online.

Elle Campbell is a glossy, lycra-clad mum with washboard abs, a ten-year plan and a secret past. Abi Black has quit sugar, moved to the country and is homeschooling her kids. Leisel Adams slogs away at her office job each day before rushing home, steeped in guilt, to spend precious moments with her kids before bedtime.

When all three women are nominated for a prestigious blogging award with a hefty cash prize, the scene is set for a brutal and often hilarious battle for hearts, minds-and clicks. As the awards night gets closer, their lies get bigger, their stunts get crazier - and some mistakes from the past become harder and harder to hide.

The Mummy Bloggers is a frank and funny look at the perils and perks of life online.”

Let me be 100% clear I loved this book.

LOVED it, I mean laughed out loud in public places while reading it loved it.

The Mummy Bloggers had me cackling at Abi’s antics, and Elle’s straight up insane vibes, and even relating strongly to Leisel’s exhausted mommy musings and self deprecation.

In a time where most of us are attaching our sense of self worth to the number of likes and follows we have on social media, this romp into one dark corner of the internet is all too relatable and crazy funny.

It’s perfect for by the pool or wherever your adventures take you this summer!
