In this brilliantly funny, deeply insightful and moving memoir, Kelly tells how meeting the right guy was pretty straightforward, but becoming a ‘spare mum’ to his two sons was very daunting. It had taken long enough to get on with her own stepmum, and now she suddenly found herself sharing responsibility for two mini-humans. Her party days gave way to early starts, jokes about farts, games of hide-and seek, and delicate negotiations with her partner’s ex and a cast of many. When Kelly got pregnant, stitching together the patchwork quilt of their new tribe got even trickier.
