Summary

A laugh-out-loud, deeply relatable memoir challenging our unrealistic expectations of motherhood and life, from the Instagram sensation and host of Beyond the Likes podcast

In a world of highly curated Instagram pages and unrealistic expectations of motherhood, Amy Gerard is a gust of fresh air. She does not sugarcoat the fact that her life with her husband and three small children (read: tiny bosses) is a chaotic rollercoaster - seatbelts absolutely required.


But she's learned that life very rarely matches up to our expectations, and it's more helpful (and fun) to embrace the warts-and-all beauty, pain and hilarity of everyday life. From birth and parenting to marriage and friendship; sex and holidays to family and careers, Amy unravels her wildly hopeful expectations and candidly reveals the messy, curveballs and plot twists that have shaped her life so far.


A must-read for new mums or anyone who has ever compared their own life to an Instagram grid post, this uplifting and laugh-out-loud funny memoir will make you stop to smell the roses and appreciate what you've got.
