Why Mummy Swears by Gill Sims
4.0
I was so surprised when I first read Why Mummy Drinks, by how much I enjoyed it. It was originally bought for me as a gift and it blew me away. That’s why when I realised that there were sequels, I had to read them.
I am still a big fan of the writing style of these books, and Why Mummy Swears, still had the power to make me laugh while reading it. However, it wasn’t as good as the first book, possibly because I went into it with high expectations, or simply because it wasn’t as good. I got a little tired of the constant use and reference to “middle class”. It did make me laugh and I did enjoy it as a whole, becoming enthralled in the book and the writing and finishing it within 24 hours. I am also now VERY eager to give the next book in this series a read.
