Confessions of a First–Time Mum

Baby groups: a warm, supportive haven for new mums? Yeah, not so much. Or is it just Stevie?

Motherhood has turned Stevie’s world upside down. She adores her baby, but the loneliness, exhaustion, and constant spit-up are wearing her down. With her husband Ted working nonstop she doesn’t want to add to his stress, so she turns to the internet instead.

Enter First-Time Mum, her anonymous, no-filter blog that strips away the Insta-perfect facade of parenting. As her brutally honest posts gain traction, Stevie finds real-life allies in the fierce Nelle and the effortlessly charming Will. But when her blog goes viral, she faces a choice: keep hiding behind the screen or step into the spotlight and own her truth.

A sharp, hilarious must-read for fans of Emma Murray, Kathryn Wallace, and Suzy K. Quinn.
