About this listen
When Amy Nickell left university, she managed to nab herself a real life paid job as a celebrity reporter in London town. She literally got paid to ask Robert Downey Junior out for Nando's, while living with her gay best friend, their Harry Styles cardboard cutout and their pet toad, Snoop Frog, and drank prosecco way before it was in fashion. Things were good, they were fun, they definitely weren't serious. However, that life took a very grown up, very serious detour when Amy found herself expecting the unexpected and pregnant age 24. Pregnant and without a boyfriend. And so her life took on an altogether new direction...
Here in Confessions of a Single Mum, Amy debunks single mum myths, delves into the world of dating (nothing ruins sexy sofa snogging ambience like the watchful eye of Daddy Pig), going back to work just ten days after giving birth, lactating WAY too close to Simon Cowell, as well answering the questions that come with having a family that is anything but nuclear.
Amy's wonderfully frank, honest and hilarious story will inspire other parents to own their single status as well as anyone whose life has thrown them a curveball.

Sometimes felt slow
I was obviously drawn to this being a lone parent myself. it started off pretty engaging, witting and funny and ended similarly. however, somewhere in the late middle felt a bit of a drill!
overall definitely enjoyed it and it has provided me with some reassurance thar my hopes and fears are not unique.

Excellent!
A definite must-read for any solo mothers!
Many aspects of the book are very relatable and I love the honesty.
Also much of the book has completely changed my perception of single motherhood.

I'm absolutely incredible book
this book is real, raw and funny.
Amy shows of a whole new side to parent life and single parenthood. I find the majority of things she ruled so relatable and so enjoyable to read she is truly an inspiration to all single. I do think that not only single mums would enjoy this book, it's an all rounder!

I finished this within a day because I couldn’t put it down!
A light-hearted, honest and informative book that perfectly captures the worries - and, in turn, diminishes all concerns - of single parenthood. I sobbed, laughed and breathed many sighs of relief (I just wish I had read it before I went clubbing and attended a festival while pregnant!) The ideal book for pregnant single soon-to-be mums, mums with babies, mums in happy marriages, single fathers or just people looking for an enjoyable read.

down to earth and realistic view
really enjoyed the book, i can totally relate to the craziness of being a working single mum. im hoping for another book about how you juggle being a single mum... as a single working mum myself it is always a juggling act and rarely any time to just chill out. i love being a single mum and cant imagine it being any different.

truly terrible book
The narrator read the book very well. I found the story line awful. and the author managed cause offence time and time again. clearer it was written for a small audience of readers with a similar family dynamic and educational background to herself. it's great that she loves her son so dearly.

Not exactly representative..
I was really disappointed with this audible book. I felt the narration was a bit too Bridget Jones wannabe and mostly just an excuse to big herself up about what a great life she has and which famous people she knows. One comment that being a single mum doesn't mean sacrifice cones from someone who obviously hasn't truly experienced the real struggle of what it is to be a single mum! Very disappointed with this, I could only identify in a few parts of the book
