About this ebook

<p>Full-time cynic Gisele Howard has no illusions about the vegetative state of her marriage or the reason for that state: two tiny humans, a caring but clueless husband, and a selectively deaf dog with bladder control issues make for easy pickings when trying to find a scapegoat. But better a decrepit union than the custodial battle her cousin is waging.</p><p>That is, until her mother-in-law shares a picture of her vagina online, her social media account invites her to become friends with her husband’s new sex bomb intern and an old flame makes her wonder if maybe, just maybe, there should be more to love than checking sex and affection off the <i>Chores</i> list.</p>

Ratings and reviews

This story has so many facets relevant to motherhood on a personal and very real level. Loneliness, even with children around you. Loving them with your whole heart, even if you feel frustrated towards them. The pressure on marriage with children in the equation, yet all of the joys and moments of love born of those pressure filled times. I really adored this book. And Gisele's sense of humour. As it's not unlike my own e.g. shape of unicorn horn on cake that nobody seems to draw a certain comparison to?!

raw, relatable and funny. An awesome read for me as a new mum, and a book I'll rave about for a long time. Well done Sandra!

I really enjoyed this read and highly recommend it.

About the author

S.G. Lovell is a stay at home mum, wife, and independent author.

She loves winter in Queensland, mind puzzles, and serene places.

Her five-headed, single-tailed family is a multicultural fusion of European, Middle Eastern, and Australian influences. Her background is equal parts computer science and competitive athletics.

She writes to counterbalance her busy family life. Sequestered in her home office she lives the thrill of a WAHM, never certain how long she will remain undisturbed by her husband, her children and her selectively deaf dog. She wouldn’t have it any other way.
