Description
‘Absolutely outrageous. A total snigger-fest.’ SINDHU VEE
'Unputdownable. Thoroughly enjoyable and twisted.' KATERINA DIAMOND
Welcome to a hen do where revenge is served colder than a frozen margarita…
Cara Carmichael’s bestie is finally getting hitched, and she’s over the moon because it means one thing… Whoah, they’re going to Ibiza! Mums on Tour: ditching kids, partners and better judgement for a long-weekend of sun, sea, and sex…y support pants. What could possibly go ‘Pete Tong’?
Lazy days, crazy nights and child-free hangovers sound like hedonistic heaven – but it turns out you can get into a hell of a lot of trouble on the party island where rules are meant to be broken.
For Cara, it’s a chance to forget about her messy divorce and explosive feud with a stardom-seeking sister and Pina-Colada pickled mother. Swapping emotional baggage for 10kg of hand luggage, she soon realises even on holiday, the darkness of your past has an alarming way of catching up with you.
When a twist of fate causes feathers to fly – a dangerous opportunity for retribution arises. Faced with secrets, lies, and betrayal – does it pay to be a good egg, or do bad chicks reign supreme?
Four friends, three nights, two murders – one heck of an adventure. A rollocking rollercoaster ride from Ibiza to Vegas, via Cheshire, Mother Hens will make you laugh, wince, and wonder what any of us are really capable of when push comes to shove…
Shortlisted for the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction 2023.
An instant Sunday Times number one bestseller

What a read!
I follow Sophie on Instagram, find her entertaining and realistic so was intrigued to read her first piece of fiction. I wrongly presumed it would be a funny, mum take on chick lit... Oh I was so wrong! I'm not sure what you'd categorise the book as other than brilliant, funny and witty.
The book is pure entertainment; Cara Carmichael's life is absolutely turned upside down by her cheating husband. For reasons I don't share (font want to give any spoilers!) She's devastated and she her friends drag her to Ibiza for a hen party, her heart just isn't in it.... But then suddenly she's in the middle of a situation she'd never even dreamt of.
Full of absolute twists and turns, the story is funny, witty and surprising. It's full of hilarious characters, cringe worthy moments so believable you wonder if it really is fiction, and a brilliant ending that left me feeling fully satisfied and also chortling. The plot is a bit bonkers, but it works entirely, I read the whole book with a smile on my face.... brilliant!

When a book covers sooooo many things, it’s hard to know where to begin!
Cara is a mum of 2, fast approaching 40 and living her best mum life.she is excited for a hen do to Ibiza when her best friend Jac gets engaged, but disappointed that the hen do won’t be for another 2 years. But two years is a VERY long time and lots can happen……
Fast forward to “Mums On Tour” to Ibiza and think about handsome strangers, estranged family and lots more side plots. Add in the fact that so much of this book is a joke or a pun that it’ll make your head spin by the end.
I enjoyed this book and would recommend to any mums needing some escapism.
Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read and review.
