Description

Hannah Thompson loves her family beyond words… but sometimes, just sometimes, she wishes she could be recognised as more than just ‘mum’.

Eldest son Dylan is soon to be flying the nest, sixteen-year-old Scarlet keeps asking about penalties for worryingly specific crimes, they’ve forgotten world book day and Benji absolutely will not be Where’s Wally again, and it’s at least two days before she and hubby Nick can sit down for Wine Wednesdays… and even longer until Fizzy Friday.

Determined to find herself a job that she loves, earn a whole lot of money and to have her teenagers respect her as ‘Hannah’ as well as ‘mum’; it might sound like a tall order, but she’s a mum on a mission.

A laugh-out-loud read of self-discovery, family chaos and love. Perfect for fans of Gill Sims, Fiona Gibson and Nick Spalding.

Hannah Thompson loves her family beyond words… but sometimes, just sometimes, she wishes she could be recognised as more than just ‘mum’.

Loved it!! This book really draws you into the characters world and shows you around. The people are believable in such a way they could be you or your neighbors. So many good things with this book!!

More Than Just Mum by Rebecca Smith is a highly enjoyable read that had me laughing out load more often than not. Ms Smith has succeeded in creating a character that is not only hilarious, but also hugely relatable to any working mother.

Hannah Brown is a wife, mother, and part-time English teacher who, although content with her life for the most part, needs to find a way to reconnect with the woman that she was before becoming known primarily as 'Mum'. After being introduced to the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy, Hannah decides that she should try her hand at erotic fiction because, really, how difficult can it be? The resulting efforts are hysterical, and Hannah's engaging voice will have you rooting for her until the very end. Recommended.

Many thanks to NetGalley, Harper Impulse and Killer Reads, and One More Chapter for this ARC.

Hannah Thompson, wife, mother, teacher and friend. Wants more from life, to be more than those thing's. Who can blame her? Right? We all want to live our best life be something more than those labels.

A fabulously funny and dynamic read. A great cast of loveable and endearing characters. A story told from everyday life that you just can't help but relate to, cocky teenagers, family pets, disasters,calamity and love. I really hope that there is going to be more from this family because the author briefly touched on Hannah's mum I would love to see more of her. I dare you to read every chapter without breaking in to fits of laughter. It's a hoot.

This book really took my fancy by the title and cover if the book and it didn't let me down at all and was so funny and such an easy quick read. Hannah was so relatable and you feel for her so much. So realistic and full of a mother who is a teacher but at a crossroads can she decide what to do next it's a brilliant read.

Hannah is a mother of three teaching English to a very difficult class and her children are growing up and giving her grief and she's come to a crossroads in life and really isn't sure what to do. She wants more from life and decides to write a book can she make a go of the book and it will be a sexy book as well and will she be able to get it published or not and will her job come to an end or will her contact continue. What does Hannah really want from life.

Worth far more than five stars brilliant.

I laughed my self silly at this book. It's the type of books that makes you smile while reading it. Parts of this book are very true to the life of a Mum even if it did make me dread my little one growing up. Very well written and heartfelt without being too emotional.
I'll be keeping a eye out for more of her stuff

I loved this book so much! I wish it had gone on for so much longer. It was hilarious and fun and a quick read. I flew through it and I enjoyed every second of it. I'm not a mother, but Hannah was so relatable anyway. As an aspiring writer myself, I really empathized with her as she was struggling to write her book.

Pretty much every aspect of this book was very appealing to me. The cover is cute, the story takes place in Britain, the narrator is funny and relatable. It reminded me a little bit of a Meg Cabot book, in the best way.

I really, really loved this book and I can't wait for it to be published so I can own a hard copy of it.
