A laugh-out-loud novel about juggling motherhood, marriage and careers.

‘Fresh, fast-paced, and laugh-out-effing-loud. I loved it!' Zoë Folbigg, author of The Note

She's wearing the pants in this family. And washing everyone else's too...

When Sarah's husband, Will, is unexpectedly fired, her first reaction is shock. Then she gets a call offering her his old job.

On principle, she should turn it down. But their young family needs the money and Sarah can't help feeling like her career has taken a backseat all these years. Now it is her turn to shine.

Overnight, Sarah and Will trade places.

She's now the departmental director commuting into the city five days a week and answering client calls on the weekend. He's doing the school run and the laundry. Or at least trying to.

They've always said they are equal partners, so this should be simple, right?

Wrong.

This change was supposed to be the making of them as a family, but as Sarah fights for her chance to have it all, she might end up losing everything…

A totally hilarious and honest look at juggling family, marriage and careers. Fans of Why Mummy Drinks, Kristen Bailey and Sophie Kinsella will be absolutely hooked from the very first page.

About the Author

Kathleen Whyman is an author, journalist, exhausted mum and Espresso Martini fan. These may be linked.

Kathleen's books are humorous women's fiction, inspired by her own feeble attempt to juggle a career with childcare, never-ending housework, laundry, life admin and, outrageously, a bit of time for herself. She is still struggling. (Any tips on how to cope would be much appreciated.)

Her debut novel Wife Support System – about three mums moving in together to help each other out – was shortlisted for the Romantic Novelists' Association's Joan Hessayon Award 2020 and the Romance Comedy Novel of the Year 2021.

Kathleen lives in Hertfordshire with her husband and two teenage daughters. There's a lot of door slamming.
