About this audiobook

The Sunday Times number one bestselling debut novel

‘Absolutely outrageous. A total snigger-fest.’ SINDHU VEE

'Unputdownable. Thoroughly enjoyable and twisted.' KATERINA DIAMOND

Welcome to a hen do where revenge is served colder than a frozen margarita...

Cara Carmichael’s bestie is finally getting hitched, and she’s over the moon because it means one thing... Whoah, they’re going to Ibiza! Mums on Tour: ditching kids, partners and better judgement for a long-weekend of sun, sea, and sex...y support pants. What could possibly go ‘Pete Tong’?

Lazy days, crazy nights and child-free hangovers sound like hedonistic heaven – but it turns out you can get into a hell of a lot of trouble on the party island where rules are meant to be broken.

For Cara, it’s a chance to forget about her messy divorce and explosive feud with a stardom-seeking sister and Pina-Colada pickled mother. Swapping emotional baggage for 10kg of hand luggage, she soon realises even on holiday, the darkness of your past has an alarming way of catching up with you.

When a twist of fate causes feathers to fly – a dangerous opportunity for retribution arises. Faced with secrets, lies, and betrayal – does it pay to be a good egg, or do bad chicks reign supreme?

Four friends, three nights, two murders – one heck of an adventure. A rollocking rollercoaster ride from Ibiza to Vegas, via Cheshire, Mother Hens will make you laugh, wince, and wonder what any of us are really capable of when push comes to shove...

Shortlisted for the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction 2023.

An instant Sunday Times number one bestseller

Absolutely brilliant. Witty, funny and so relatable to many. This book had me sniggering away and as I was listening to the audio, my husband kept hearing snippets and was clearly enjoying it too! I was captured from the beginning and enjoyed the pace. You could almost hear Sophie's voice reading the book (even though she wasn't narrating). Fingers crossed this is the first of many fiction books from Sophie! My only advice would be- even though you will be desperate to listen to the book whenever you can, make sure the kids are in bed! Had quite a few near misses with my boy entering the room just as some rather blue language appeared! Definitely recommend- fun, friendly and not mushy chick-lit :)
