Mother Hens: The Sunday Times Number One bestselling fiction debut

Product Information

Winner of the Funny Women Best Web Series award in 2020, Sophie shares her frank and fearless takes on adult life with an army of fans online, onstage and on screen. It’s packed full of great characters, laugh out loud moments, banter, and possibly some of the worst cases of second hand embarrassment I’ve experienced, and it all adds up to be one hell of a book that I will be recommending to everyone that will listen to me.

Four friends, three nights in Hedonistic Ibiza ending with an unplanned trip to Las Vegas, what could possibly go wrong? I do think the plot may be a little marmite, at points it was just insanely ridiculous (fun and had me gasping), but totally off the wall. The story follows Cara, who is recently divorced from her love rat husband, and has been persuaded to join best friends Jac, Debs, and her cousin Amy on Jac’s hen do to Ibiza. They fly into Ibiza and soon arrive at Unicorn Utopia (yup), their sacred spiritual sanctuary in the middle of nowhere. From here on in, the novel romps its way to the end, as it loops and bucks and gurns (referring to the ecstasy gurn), with a short hop over to Las Vegas.Looking at the cover of this book, you would assume this is a fun, carefree, all girls trip filled with sun sea and sand. I am a follower of Sophie and was so looking forward to this book, who doesn't love a crazy hen story? The drama,the accidental drugs,private planes,a camp for swingers,drag Queens,hit men,are only some of what happens the girls on what should be 4 days on the lash, in the sun! Cara Carmichael's bestie is finally getting hitched, and she's over the moon because it means one thing. It's full of hilarious characters, cringe worthy moments so believable you wonder if it really is fiction, and a brilliant ending that left me feeling fully satisfied and also chortling.

It's so vivid and engaging, you'll half expect the characters to leap off the page and join you for a cuppa. Winner of a Funny Women award in 2020, she now shares her no-holds-barred take on life with a legion of fans online, on stage and on screen. Cara Carmichael’s bestie is finally getting hitched, and she’s over the moon because it means one thing… Whoah, they’re going to Ibiza!All in all I would recommend as a fun summer beach read, if you want a book packed with surprises and laugh out loud one liners! Er, this isn’t what they bargained for and they to not intend to spend their short time on the island tramping about in nature and contemplating their navels, so they decamp to a very upmarket establishment, where Cara is confronted by the last people on earth she would expect to meet.
