Warning!! This novel may lead you to make rash and life-changing decisions!*

I'm Just A Teenage Punchbag is a laugh-out-loud, sob-on-the bus journey through the so-called life of a middle-aged woman.
Ciara is mother to three ungrateful, entitled teenagers, is married to steady Martin, a man with hairy udders, and is grieving for her mum who now lives in the wardrobe in a cardboard box from the crematorium. She finds solace in her anonymous blog, and in the daily chats she has with her mum's ashes (often the best conversations she has all day.)
Despite the menopause, the invisibility of middle age and the daily self-esteem bashings, courtesy of her kids, Ciara manages to navigate the stormy waters of grief and family life - until her mask slips and she is cast out from the family bosom. She embarks on a mission to fulfil her mum's dying wishes to have her remains sprinkled from the top of the Empire State Building, finding company, distraction and - ultimately - herself in the process.
If motherhood is a job - who says you can't resign?

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, funny summer read!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 14, 2020
This book is a great combination of humour and wit, mixed in with some more serious thought provoking messages about what life is about to different types of people. I don't have teenagers yet, but this book is written so vividly that I could imagine myself in that part of my life, wondering what I would do.
I also appreciated the book being broken down into 3 parts, and the ending is so unexpected...I am hoping for a sequel!!

I loved this book. It made me laugh but so reminded me of life with teenagers. Reminds every down trodden middle aged mum that there is more to life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable read if you have teenagers
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 24, 2020
Very true to life and humorous, I found it unputdownable. Struggling with ungrateful teenagers and an unhelpful husband, this book made me realise that I'm not the only one. A good read.
