The Bad Mother’s Handbook & Swallowing Grandma

Title 1 : The Bad Mother's Handbook
Title 2 : Swallowing Grandma
Author : Kate Long







Synopsis:
'The Bad Mother’s Handbook', tells the story of a year in the life of one family. There’s 17 year-old Charlotte, who’s bright and ambitious; her thirtysomething mother Karen, a bitter divorcee; and Nan, a woman who slips between the past and the present and whose 80-year history holds secrets that have the potential to unravel the whole household.

Swallowing Grandma - Orphan Kat Millar seems doomed to waste her best years caring for her horribly ungrateful grandmother, Poll. But relatives Kat knows nothing about are moving in, intent on changing her life forever.

My Thoughts:
I like both books a lot, both by the same author, Kate Long. They're funny, quirky, sad at times and both are telling a lot about life as a family. I would recommend both for really easy & light reading. There's actually another book similar to these that Kate Long wrote but I haven't read it yet. It's called Queen Mum and it's on my list of books to read.
