Super chick-litt for alle der elsker en humoristisk historie om kærlighed, mænd, børn, veninder, flirt og små, hvide løgne. - LitteratursidenLucy Sweeney har tre sønner og en Kortluntet Ægtemand. På trods af sin status som hjemmegående lever hun og hendes familie i noget, der bedst kan beskrives som hjemligt kaos: Snavsetøjsbunkerne er enorme, søvnunderskuddet konstant, sex er en by i Rusland, og indimellem står den på pyjamas under overfrakken, når hun følger børnene til skole. Og som om det ikke var nok, er tvivlen begyndt at spire frem, for var det nu den rigtige beslutning at kvitte jobbet, da børnene kom til, og er Kortluntet Ægtemand overhovedet hendes livs kærlighed?Da Lucy indleder et venskab med Sexede Hjemmefar, der er far til en af sønnernes klassekammerater, kaster hun sig samtidig ud i en lang række af små, hvide løgne,og pludselig lurer katastrofen forude, for er hun i virkeligheden lidt småforelsket i ham?En utjekket mors hemmelige liv er en bittersød historie om moderskab og det moderne ægteskab, om livet bag hjemmets fire vægge - og alt det udenfor - det er ren Bridget Jones for mødre!PRESSEN SKREVDet er en helt fantastisk morsom roman, og flere gange var jeg ved at dø af grin. Specielt en episode hænger ved, jeg vil ikke afsløre for meget, men: afsendelse af en mail til en veninde med detaljer om sig selv, sexliv og forældre i børnenes klasse. Men da alle de nye opfindelser er opstået efter Lucys indtræden i husmoderrollen, går alt skævt for hende, og mailen ender hos alle forældrene i børnenes skole. Det er simpelthen så grinagtigt, og det meste af romanen er bare ikke til at stå for. - LitteratursidenEn yderst læseværdig roman, der har formået at gøre små, korte klummetekster til en helstøbt roman. Med stor kærlighed, humor og respekt skildres de kiksede og tjekkede hjemmegående m/k. - Bibliotekernes lektørudtalelse
