Summary
It’s time for a w(h)ine.
‘Oh, for f--k’s sake’ muttered Claire under her breath, as she opened the fridge to see what she could find for a no effort dinner. The children continued to fight behind her. They regarded any form of fish not encased in breadcrumbs as toxic, and were resistant enough to the delicious homemade fishfingers Claire had made for them, insisting they much preferred Captain Birdseye’s version. White wine was starting to look like quite an appealing dinner actually. Maybe just a small glass.
‘Are you having wine, Mum? You know you’re not supposed to have wine every night. We did about alcohol units at school. That’s quite a big glass of wine, how many units do you think are in it?’
’Bet the bastards didn’t tell you that wine is remarkably good at cancelling out whining though, did they?’ muttered Claire.
Claire’s family has gone nuclear. Her precious moppets keep calling Childline when she feeds them broccoli, she’s utterly Ottolenghied out at weekends and her darling husband is having an affair with her best friend.
The question isn’t whether she needs a glass of wine, but is there one big enough?
Enter the Sauvignon Sisterhood, a new set of friends brought together by a shared love of liquid therapy. Together they might just be able to convince Claire that, like a good bottle of red, life really can get better with age. Or at least there’s more to it than the joy of an M&S non-iron school uniform.
Critic reviews
"God, she’s funny." (Jilly Cooper)
"Sims’s latest offering is a hilarious follow-up to her best-selling debut...you’d be forgiven for thinking the blogger behind Peter and Jane couldn’t pull it off twice—but she has." (The Sunday Post)

Utterly dissapointing on so many levels
I really enjoyed the 'Why Mummy' series but this book is an unfunny, cringeworthy regurgitation of 'Why Mummy....'. Moreover, for a book with 'sisterhood' in the title, it was anything but a story of sisterhood. As well as mocking feminism, it portrayed female characters in their most offensive stereotypes....jealous, manipulative, conforming to gender roles, gossiping and competitive. I only listened to a third of the book before it bacame too annoying to bare. A book authored by a woman about women, I expected it to be about a unity and female empowerment but it did the opposite in highlighting all the stereotypical traits that divide us.

Disappointing
Narration is awful. Story is predictable and not as good as her other books. Couldn’t wait for it to end.

duplicate of Why Mummy Drinks books
I have loved the why mummy drinks books, and don't get me wrong this book is equally as good. However this uses the same language and I (Lucy perfect mummy) would expect Ellen to pop up in this book as a side character. Clare is going through the same struggles.
Then same struggles a high proportion of married women with kids can identify with.

Importance of our Friendships
Loved the characters & storyline, not predictable at all and highlighted the importance of our female relationships

Hilarious 3🌟🌟🌟
This book is laugh out loud funny. It's not funny being cheated on but everything that happens afterwards is so true to life!
I wish I had a good group of female friends like those in the book. I love that a character 'Louisa' from the other 'Why Mummy' series of Gill Sims books made an appearance.
I would never go on a camping trip with the school and the mum covern which is so realistic ~ every school playground has them 😂
I bought this in the £2.99 sale and it was worth it. I recommend this listen.
