Overview
Tired and Tested is the hilarious, warts-and-all guide to parenthood from comedian and viral sensation Sophie McCartney. Blending laugh-out-loud humour with eye-watering honesty, this Sunday Times Number One bestseller captures the chaos, joy and sheer exhaustion of raising small humans. Perfect for any parent who has traded a high-flying career for a Lycra-based wardrobe and a fear of what's lurking at the bottom of the soft play ball-pit, this book is the comforting, hilarious companion every tired mum and dad needs on the shelf.

About the Book
Welcome to the jungle. When you've grown up thinking your twenties are all about working hard, playing hard and trying not to get pregnant, life comes at you fast when you go from hump to bump. Sophie McCartney invites readers deep into the uncharted territories of mating, birthing, feral offspring, mums overdoing it at the watering hole, and the perilous viper's nest of the school WhatsApp group. Whether you've had a day full of whining or a night full of wine, Sophie shows there's joy to be found in the perfectly imperfect wild ride into parenthood. Having built a devoted online following through her viral comedy vlogs since 2017, Sophie translates her trademark frank and funny voice onto the page, covering everything from sleepless nights and birth stories to playground politics and the loss of your pre-baby identity. The book became a Sunday Times bestseller in its first week of release, resonating with parents across the country who recognised their own chaotic, love-filled, sleep-deprived lives in every chapter. It's a book that doesn't sugar-coat parenthood, but instead celebrates its messy reality with warmth, wit and brilliant comic timing, making it one of the most relatable parenting reads in recent years.
