Amy Crane's daughter, Evie, is six months old. And Amy, who's trying to decide whether to resume her high-pressure job in PR, adores her. These days, Amy doesn't exactly adore herself.
Even worse, the whole time she's feeling invisible and about as attractive as a barnyard animal, Amy suspects that Evie's father, Joe, is having an affair. Then Amy meets Alice, who seems to have the mommy thing down: she's single, slender, with groomed eyebrows, a smooth forehead, and killer clothes. Plus she has a sex life. In short, she's a Yummy Mummy, one of a new breed who manage to make motherhood look positively sexy. Under Alice's tutelage, Amy discovers that she's got some yumminess of her own. Joe takes notice, as does her handsome Pilates instructor, but once Amy's libido awakens from its extended slumber, a whole new set of problems develops.
Filled with acute perceptions of the challenges faced by new moms, as well as the uniquely terrifying landscape of new motherhood, The Yummy Mummy is as endearing and refreshing as a baby who sleeps through the night.

"I enjoyed this book far more than I thought I would. I bypassed it on my bookshelf for a long time. I thought it was going to be really superficial, but it actually had a very good, emotional underlying story. I thought it was great.
