Ever felt like you don't belong?

When Libby Marchant and husband Ned made the monumental decision to sacrifice luxuries and holidays to see their only son Max through private education, they hadn’t expected to meet so many unsavoury and dislikeable personalities along the way.

Happily, the cruel jibes of the pompous ‘Meemies’ are made more tolerable by the lasting and loyal friendship they strike up with the affluent Fenella & Josh.

Follow Libby’s journey as she discovers the chasm between the Haves and the Have-Nots in her mad new world of school committees, designer handbags, bitching and botox.

With Fenella by her side, Libby is able to maintain her sanity. But what happens when the credit crunch bites, you’re desperate for another baby and your Asian neighbour is trying to match-make you with her infatuated son?

very funny and entertaining journey

I was really laughing out loud at some of the things this mummy was saying and literally going through. Reminds me of some of the things I've said myself at the school gates, to hubby, to our little people and some friends.

It is not always easy summiting to peer pressure, even as mummies! But this misfit mummy got it all in her stride with the help of that few special people in her life. Lucky devil! :)

Truly love it when she had her Eureka! moments and in the end after all the struggle she and family has been through, a well deserved happy start to a good life ahead. Amanda Egan writes as if she has gone through all of it as if by personal experience. If she did, well done! You have captured that special emotion some of us has either been through or are going through.

Wonderful read!

Fast paced, energizing read!

I absolutely loved and appreciated the speed at which the book reads. The words are very "comfortable" on the page, written in conversational tone which I believe speeds the reading just a bit when the mind recognizes the text on the page as matching natural patterns used in everyday speech as opposed to more formal writing. Because of this, that voice inside my head that's engaged when reading sounded like a friend talking to me, as if we were on a power walk around the neighborhood getting caught up on the latest juicy gossip. Verbs often started the sentences, infusing the writing with life and action, giving the overall tone of the piece excitement and forward progress. Also loved the use of diary entries and lists which were used as structure for the narrative - very Bridget Jones - a staple in our genre. Well done. My compliments to the writer. This week, feeling sluggish with fever and tired from a busy month of activities, I needed an energetic book written exactly like this to revive me. Libby and her sidekick, Fenella, the busy moms and their frantic lives central to this story provided comic relief and I was so happy it was them and not me living out this nightmare. My thanks to the writer, Amanda Egan, for this much needed escape.

Set-Up to the Storyline: Little Max, Libby Marchant's only child, just got into Manor House Prep School, a prestigious (and pricey!) private school. Now Ned and Libby must figure out how to buck up and fit in. Not only that, little Max wants a dog - finds one - and names the dog, Dog. Dog gives birth to puppy sextuplets beneath the kitchen table, further complicating the busy home life Libby is trying to manage. But before summer is up and the new school year begins, Libby finds herself serving along with friend, Fenella Hunter-Barnes, as Manor House's "Seedlings class reps" for the new school year, responsible for all sorts of things, including throwing a Christmas fair for 140 kids and parents. What is it they say in tournament play? "Let the games begin!"

Lively Cast of Characters: Four-year-old son Max is adorable, full of difficult questions like, "Can I have a dog/brother/sister?" and "What's the difference between the chicken on the farm and the one on my plate?" Ms. Sengupta, the next door neighbor and motherly figure, considered (with affection) by Libby to be a 'broad minded geriatric Hindu' wants to fix Libby with her eligible son, Pritesh. Best friend Fenella and husband Josh, the first compatible couple Libby and Ned find in their new private school community, at first provide fun evening parties filled with booze and show tunes but soon grow to become true, lifelong friends. Great couple. Nick and Rick serve as the token gay couple found in most chick lit books - and when they announce an August wedding, Libby and Ned exchange viewpoints on the matter, establishing Libby is pro and Ned is against and Libby soon becomes more involved in the wedding than she originally intended. There are family members including Libby's mother, an older sister and a godmother that come and go but serve the storyline in important ways. And last but certainly not least, a smattering of clueless, snotty, affluent moms with less than desirable parenting skills who act in truly cruel ways in this super-charged mommy playground.

Overarching Question for Readers: How will Libby and Ned finance their new lifestyle? Will Libby be able to meet her many obligations as Seedlings class rep? But more importantly, for me, is the close examination of what it means to "be rich". If monetary wealth is fleeting, what currency do we have in our lives as measure of our true wealth? A loving husband? A terrific kid? A stellar best friend? Belief in ourselves and our ability to overcome hardship? And perhaps, an uncompromising moral compass that always points us to our true north. Perhaps these are the currencies with which we should measure.

Diary Of A Mummy Misfit - Amanda Egan

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 3 agosto 2012

Acquisto verificato

Repeat after me; Amanda Egan, Amanda Egan, Amanda Egan. Why? Because this name should be on everybody's lips, especially if you're a fan of 'Chick Lit'. Diary Of A Mummy Misfit is a blooming masterpiece! If I could draw 2 more stars, colour them in gold, and add them to Amazon's maximum of 5*, I would do! This book deserves far more than the maximum 5*, so I'm breaking tradition and rating it 7*
Libby and her hubby Ned, want a private education (and who can blame them!) for their son Max. Now Libby and Ned aren't exactly rolling in money and they rely quite a lot on that little plastic thing we call a credit card. They do have to make sacrifices to get Max there, so no holidays for them, other than the local park. Libby strikes up a friendship with one of the posh/rolling in money type mummies at the school, namely 'Fenella' who is a down to earth, says it as it is, kind of lady, who is also an absolute star. Libby/Fenella and their husbands become really close friends. Throughout the Diary we meet some lovely characters like Libby and Ned's next door neighbour; an asian lady with a thing for Barry Manilow and a son with whom she's trying to pair off with Libby. Do you think she succeeded in her quest? Well...you'll just have to read the book to find out. We're treated to some lovely characters in the book, that is, 2 gays, a mother and some other close friends and a dog. We also have snobbery and bitching at its best, and that's just from the 'meemies' husbands, so you can imagine what the 'meemies' themselves are like! Yes, that's right, handbags at dawn! Diary Of A Mummy Misfit is one of the best books I have ever read, it's fantastically written and is incredibly funny!! Amanda's style of writing is pure brilliance. You are guaranteed giggles throughout the book and there are lots of laugh out loud lines too. I absolutely adored this book and I recommend it totally!! One question - why is Amanda not represented by an agent? Their immense loss I reckon!!!

A Funny, Feel-Good Read!

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 15 ottobre 2012

This review is from SistaPITA (aka, my sister who is also my Pain In the A__)

SistaPITA reads a lot faster than I do. Heck, everyone in my family reads faster than I do, so when you look at all the books I read, double that for SistaPITA and then times THAT by ten for MissThink and MissSunshine...well, and for Dad. That man taught the girls how to speed read, I think.

SistaPITA bought this book when it was free. Remember a while ago when I posted it on my Friday Free Reads? I need to do that again. Anyway, we were all sitting around the table the other day, and she was telling us about this book and had us ALL in stitches!! Ms. Egan apparently did a really great job at telling a seriously funny story! So, without further ado, here's what SistaPITA said about the book as I grilled her. I had to get some of her facial expressions because she talks like I do...with her face! LOL!

SistaPITA: It was a very cute story, done in diary style. It's not my favorite, but Ms. Egan still found a way to make the characters come alive. You could visualize the characters. She provided sufficient detail to create the scene while still making it a believable diary entry.

Me: I would have to agree here. Diary entry fiction is hard to read. The characterization is hard to make 3D, and pacing is usually an issue. Diary entry sounds sloooooooooooooow to me. But SistaPITA said it worked, and I believe her!

SistaPITA: My favorite character was her friend, Fenella. She's one the rich mom's who doesn't act like all the *pulls face back as tight as possible* (I'm taking this to mean "plastic", as in, "had too much plastic surgery done".) Fenella came across as a very good friend who tried to help Libby fit into a very difficult situation.

Me: I will say that the zinging one-liners that had us all in stitches at the dinner table were direct from Libby, the main character. OMW! And just the way SistaPITA re-enacted them...it was hysterical. So there is definitely something in Ms. Egan's writing that caught SistaPITA's attention. The introduction to the Meemies line was fantastic and was replayed more than once. It's actually now a staple in conversation.

SistaPITA: The plot was good all the way to the end. I mean, yes, the end was a very nice ending, but it was a little too...cliche. It was a very easy ending, one that I expected to happen. The plot was fun, though.

Me: You should have seen her non-verbals on this one. She was very unhappy with the ending. I have to read the book just to see it, now.

SistaPITA: The Voice was easily the strongest element in the book. It was strong, easy to read and instantly grabbed you. It stayed strong throughout.

Me: So, bottom line, she LIKED it, but was disappointed with the ending. So...will I be reading it? Oh, Heelllllllls YES! I have to read what she was re-enacting! This sounds like a GREAT book to read!

A great read!

Libby is a fantastic character, and one I would guess a lot of women can relate to! The story bounces along with real touch to family life, friends, and 'fitting in' with something new - in this case a private school for her son. It's a believable plot, very funny at times, and you find yourself rooting for her through her troubles. This story creates vivid imagery in the readers mind. Very well written, I like the diary style, and that there can be lapses of days to weeks before the next entry.
I have given this 4*'s, but if it wasn't for 'Olga' and her accent... I would have given this book 5*'s.
