Plus we all know that smiling and laughing is good for you, so think of this book as a tonic, delivering your daily dose of fun and hysteria!

I may not myself pick this book up again, however I definitly have an idea of some other people I will recommend this to. Hilarious and sassy reportage from the front line of the Waitrose (sorry, I mean Sainsbury’s) wine and spirits aisle. It was such an easy, relatable book to read and i have already recommended it to a few of my gin loving parent friends for them to devour and enjoy as well. I loved how a story would start somewhere and end up somewhere completely different in thought and humour. In this riotous book, Clara reveals: Most importantly, Clara shows us that no matter how much we adore our little treasures, life isn’t just about their A, B and bloody Cs.Let me know your message for inside the card, plus the name and address it needs to head along to and I will sort it all for you.

Most importantly, Clara shows us that no matter how much we adore our little treasures, life isn’t just about their A, B and bloody Cs. The publisher said: “In Gin and Phonics, Clara talks candidly about the ups, downs and amusing realities of trying to parent two small people whilst fulfilling her lifelong dream of becoming an actress without losing her bl**dy mind. The first thing I said to them was, ‘I absolutely don’t want to do a ’mum book’, banging on about the trials of parenting and needing a drink at the end of the day. I've read a few books by influencers now and this has to be the most self-deprecating of all of them.Clara manages to reach into the truth of life with kids but tells her story with so much laughter, joy and energy.

I needed a bit of light relief from all the other books I have been reading recently and this was the perfect solution. Clara is the person I would love to have been friends with at school; we would have had amazing fun.
