The Bad Mother's Handbook - Kate Long

A lighthearted and often funny look at mother-daughter relationships and the transformations brought about by family connections, as a teenage girl's pregnancy impacts each of the three generations of women living in her home. The characters are flawed but likeable, and some serious subjects are touched on without disturbing the flow - the main premise being that it's better to appreciate what you have than to waste your life fantasising about some implausible alternative.
