A delicious second serving. A real treat to meet. I'll be glad for a dozen more. A Really good find.

I love this book and have bought it for others. It’s such a funny book showing that it’s okay to make mistakes. You don’t have to be perfect all of the time and can’t expect that of everyone else. I love that it promotes self care and taking a break when you need to. A great message with a lot of laughs. Brilliant.
