Serena Terry

Christmas time, toddler meltdowns, teenage angst, marriage problems and WINE. This year, the perfect Christmas is going to take a miracle...

The Sh!te Before Christmas

Get your christmas reads in order before the silly season sets in and make sure this one is added to your TBR!

Tara would happily kill someone for Christmas to be slightly less manic than usual.  From a stroppy teenager testing boundarys to trying to potty train and everything in between, family life is full on for Tara and her hubby.  But her wayward mother (who I couldn't help but see as Brenda's mum from DinnerLadies!) decides to foist herself on them for Christmas too - Tara's grip on her sanity might finally slip!  Paul also seems to be less than his usual self and Tara's finds herself doubting her marriage too.

OML Gemma is the quintessential teenager - you never know what personality you're going to get! Jax and Nathan are the scene stealers yet again - the zingers these boys delivered - and the timing!  The inner workings of Tara's mind are so realistic - we're a similar ago so there are way too many tabs open, music won't stop playing and everything crashes every so often.  

I'm eager to see what calamities could befall Tara and the tribe next!

TW: There are some very realistic scenes of family tummy trouble shall we say - Don't be eating when you're reading LOL!
