A fun coffee table book and a great conversation starter for new mums. The same kind of satisfaction from watching a string of Tiktoks reading Reddit stories, but I do like that it caters to new mums who may benefit from a sense of community and fun who understand the stress that they’re under.

Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC!

This book is a collection of questions and answers from the infamous Mumsnet forum. Its definitely the lighter side of Mumset and gives examples of people asking if they're being unreasonable about things relating to their children or partners and 4-6 responses. It's entertaining enough and there are some giggles to be found there.

It's been a fair while since I've been on a forum like Mumsnet, but this book brings it all back. Am I Being Unreasonable is short enough that it can be read in one sitting but also perfect to keep on your coffee table and delve into now and then, perhaps when you, yourself are wondering if YABU. The AIBU dilemmas are organised by theme and I think it's fair to say there is something for everyone in this book - whether it will be rolling your eyes or laughing out loud. It's hilarious - posh candle AIBU, I am looking at you!

I'll admit, when reading it, a part of me was wondering if the people who posted their AIBU dilemmas, knew they were going to be published in a book. I know they're posting in a public forum but still...I think the introduction would benefit from a sentence explaining this.

It's definitely a great stocking filler or Secret Santa present for the Mums in your life.
Thanks to Mumsnet for the change to review an advanced copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
