I was expecting a light and fluffy comedy about new motherhood but instead found a poignant window into my post-partum life and feelings. Completely spot on…I was tearing up. Little slow to get into but so worth it

Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book.

This was a cute emotional book that is light hearted and fun to read.

I greatly enjoyed this story, and it was highly relatable.

"The 3am Shattered Mums Club" is an easy fun read with some emotional topics too. I thoroughly enjoyed this book as it was an easy page turner and it brought me right back to my toddlers new born days because what the 3 women experience as new mums is pretty much what I, and probably most mums, experienced!

I received an E-ARC with a request for my honest review.

This funny and relatable story follows three women Sophy, Aisha and Mel. All these women have recently given birth and are trying to deal with being new Mums.

When they meet at a baby club they go for a coffee and start to chat to each other about how they are feeling and decide to start a group chat, which they call the 3am Shattered Mums’ Club.

They start to share the ups and downs, the drama and laughs in their lives and realise how close they are becoming as friends.

What will the women discover about each other? Will they ever finally not be shattered?

I absolutely loved reading this book and found it hard to write the summary above to give this book the description it deserves. I had many laughs, some lasted for a while as I just couldn’t control the laughing.

I loved all three of the women’s characters and how they all became so close and how they became stronger with each other’s help.

I could relate to most of what they would say and feel, and it brought back memories from when I was that Mum lonely feeding my baby at 3am. I turned to TV, as some of these Mums did but I would have felt so much better if I could have had a group chat like these women. I think this should be something more new Mum’s could be a part of.

Overall, a funny and relatable story of three Mums who find a way of coping with being a 3am shattered Mum.

Oh how this resonated with me. That lonely not quite night and not quite morning feed. All three ladies have totally different home lives but connect and support each other at the most lonely and vulnerable time.
A new baby changes even the most stable of relationship and the book explores this in a very sensitive way, don't get me wrong the book is great and entertaining.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review

I think anyone who's ever been up in the middle of the night with an unhappy baby can relate to this fun, easy to read, relatable book!

Nothing life changing but a fun read!

This book had promise when I started it. Then about halfway through it started to get boring. I mean, how ,cub more angst can one take in a book. We all know that looking after a new born baby can be hard and tiring but, there is some much to enjoy too. These early days are precious and go so fast. This book just didn’t deliver for me. My thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review..

This is a very quick, easy read. However, I didn't really get attached to any characters. It is nice to feel seen and I'm glad moms can have an uplifting read to turn to when they get a small moment of peace during the day!

Absolutely loved this raw no holds barred reflection of early motherhood! Totally relatable to all new mums out there as it chronicles both the highs and lows of those hormone addled early days!
Three new mums meet up at a cancelled baby group but instead of just leaving and going home, they go for coffee and a much needed chat and a wonderful supportive friendship group develops amongst them as they bond over the night feeds,hence the 3am shattered mums club!
The bond they develop illustrates the importance of friendship, support and inclusivity, they are all so different and from different backgrounds yet united in the wonderful world of early motherhood.
A great lighthearted read, would highly recommend.
Thank you net galley for this early read

I haven’t forgotten how awful that being away in the middle of the night feeling is when you are alone with your newborn. This is the really lovely story of three brand new mums: Sophy, Mel and Aisha. All loving being mums but struggling in their own way. They meet by co-incidence on their way to a mum and baby group and end up becoming friends. This is a wonderful story of the friendship and support they give each other at difficult times - usually at 3am! I loved this story. I took my right back to when my older teens were babies and the emotions that goes with being a new mum.

I absolutely loved this book, it’s funny, relatable and packed full of adventures. This was a super fast read as I desperately raced through the pages to see what was next.

If you want a feel good book about three women that couldn't be any more different that find each other after having a baby, this book is for you. Each one struggles with their relationship with their significant other and the stress and sleeplessness brought on by their newborn babies. No one ever tells you all the emotions you go through after having a baby and these women help keep each other sane. They find that each one is awake at 3 am and find that texting each other helps them sort out their lives and feel less lonely. And, there is a happy ending in store for each of them! Thank you NetGalley for this opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review. I would recommend this book and read other books by Nina Manning.

I can only imagine how tired Sophy, Alisha and Mel are. However, they create a bond that encapsulates what a mother must feel.when she is trying to ensure what a mother and child must fill with when purely exhausted. They also try to make sure their relationships hold firm when so exhausted, they don't remember whom they are or want to be such as Sophy with Instagram, Mel with Burlesque, or Alisha with her desire to open a bakery.This is a book demonstrated by how women can bolster each other up and how great things can be when friendship and love for oneself can really make a life imminently better.

This was a quick read, sometimes not always easy to follow which story but was a good read overall. The characters are simple enough to enjoy.

I absolutely loved this one! It kept me turning the pages and I enjoyed getting lost in this book on a Sunday.

This book was a bit of a flashback to the first weeks/months with a newborn. The struggles of figuring it all out and the friendships you make during this time. It is a fast and enjoyable read and would be great for a new mom…. If she has time!

Thank you NetGalley for the arc.

A quick east fun read where 3 moms happen to meet by chance and bond over the struggles of late night feedings, the lack of help from their partners. I can’t say I connected with the characters as I’m not a human mom, just a dog mom, but I can sympathize with getting up multiple times a night with a puppy.

I enjoyed the friendships the ladies formed and how supportive they were of each other.

This was truly an enjoyable book.

Gosh this book brought back many memories of being a new mum. In my day we had our close baby groups but the idea of messaging friends in the middle of the night is brilliant. The shared friendship of the 3 woman was lovely. They all had problems . I hated Jeff from day one. Your friends that you make with your babies are for life.. A fantastic read. Love it

This book was everything I wanted it to be. It had me turned pages without even realizing. It was so good!

Three mums of newborns meet outside a community hall, when a baby group is cancelled at the last minute.

They all have completely different family setups but form a friendship wholst navigating the tiring first days with a baby.

Sophy is a social media influencer, and lives in a trendy, luxurious house with her commitment-phobe estate agent boyfriend, Jeff. Baby Max is their first child.

Aisha has twins, Jude and Otis, with her wife Charley (via a sperm doner) However, Charley is less hands on than expected and concentrates on her work, so Aisha feels isolated and lonely as a new Mum.

Mel is slighty older and already has a 12 year old daughter with hubby Daz. Her baby, Skylar, is a fairly easy going baby to start off with, but when she starts waking through the night for extra feeds Mel struggles, so the Whatsapp group chat with her new friends at 3am is invaluable!

This was a fast and enjoyable light read and the characters' experiences reminded me of the challenges of the early days with my children as babies! I think this book would particularly  appeal to first time Mums!
