{"product_id":"the-other-mother-jen-brister-9781784709747","title":"The Other Mother","description":"'Hysterical, important, moving, wonderful' Sara Pascoe\nI'm Jen Brister, stand-up comedian, middle-aged adolescent and, more recently, a mum. But not that mum – I'm the other one. Confused? Let’s back up a bit. Two years ago, my partner (a woman – we're not solicitors) gave birth to twins. Yes. Yes. Already there’s a lot to take in here: gay mums, twins, solicitors… (I know! Believe me, I’m still reeling myself.)\nLike every new parent, I had absolutely no clue what I was doing. Add ‘gay’ and ‘non-biological’ to the mix and what do you get? Not a weird box of detergent, but a panicked beige lesbian desperately googling, ‘Will my babies love me?’ at 3 a.m.\nThis is a book for any parent who feels they don’t fit the mould of a traditional 2.4 family. Stand-up comedian Jen Brister takes a very funny, very honest look at life as a parent: from IVF awfulness to crying over the pages of sleep training manuals. As ‘the other mother’ she has the perfect vantage point for us to laugh and cry alongside her.","brand":"Vintage Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50472279376160,"sku":"9781784709747","price":9.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781784709747.jpg?v=1781105857","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/the-other-mother-jen-brister-9781784709747","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
