Cathy Kelly Emma tells it how it is with real honesty, and it made me laugh out loud. Janet Hoggarth Witty, fun, beautifully-written. Very highly recommended. Excited to see what comes next from Emma Murray. Jessica RedlandWhat readers are saying about Time Out: Time Out was exactly what I needed right now, its Hilarious, Witty, Brilliantly Written, Authentic, Compelling, Uplifting and so very relatable.The characters are superbly written, and I really hope we get to read more from Saoirse.This book is a reminder of the importance of a support system: old friends, new friends, parents, and sometimes even a kind word from a stranger.I really related to the Saoirse, the main character in this book. I loved her humour, her insecurities, her strengths, her flaws and of course most importantly how she formed a fantastic friendship over a morning bottle of Prosecco.Emma Murray has written a 5-star how-to book on being part of the village ... it takes a village to raise a child but it also takes that village to raise up a mom!A fabulous read that had me hooked and also made me feel glad that my children were born prior to the arrival of Facebook and social media. But a refreshing read and one I would definitely recommend. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Emma Murray is originally from Co.
