I couldn’t turn it off if I wanted to!
That Serena is able to make millions of people laugh is all the more remarkable because of the struggles she was dealing with in her own life. The eagerly-awaited second novel from 'Mammy Banter' Serena Terry is finally on release". www.derryjournal.com. 2022-11-11 . Retrieved 2022-11-20.
Attaining TikTok 'verification' status last month, Terry is still turning out one Mammy Banter video a day and never worries about running out of ideas: Then there are the two boys, Nathan (5) and Jax (2) who are everything you expect two boys of that age to be, a lot of bodily fluids, inquisitive minds and in Nathan's case an uncanny ability to repeat the most inappropriate things to his teacher at school! The novel is described as "a hilarious warts-and-all novel about modern motherhood". It followsbusy, exhausted mumTara Gallagher who used to dream of being Beyoncé but suddenly she’s 36 with three kids, a loving husband and a very boring job. She decides to undergoa mammy makeover to show her teenage daughter she’s still cool,her husband she’s still a goddess and her colleagues she’s still a Boss Bish".
There’s lots of mortifying moments along the way and you can’t help but feel for her as it’s like reading the trials and tribulations of a best friend. As I said, very relatable! Overall, this is one of those novels where you want to keep reading, it makes you smile, laugh, and reminisce about the good ol’ times. A definite book to make your day or week even better. Tara thinks she needs to up her game to impress her 13 year old daughter, Gemma, who is continually embarrassed by her. Tara changes her hair, clothing, and embarks on a self improvement routine. I’m all for improving yourself, but Tara is pandering to the whims and selfishness of a teenager. For a first time writer Terry manages to write in a style that flowed and showed humor when it was meant. Yet I think I only finished because I hoped Tara would come to her sense and see she was the problem. That it was down to her, not to get a new image, but a new approach to her problems. unfortunately this only came about in a miner way.Social Media Savvy will explore latest trends, insights, news and updates brought together by a line-up of formidable practitioners. Some of the videos were really trying to step away from this idea that everybody is perfect by saying, 'Come on! How do you have a 'summer' body?' It is really poking fun at all that," she says in the soft Derry accent that seems to lend itself instinctively to comedy. I listened to the audiobook of Mammy Banter and found myself feeling like I had good company while doing various things around the house. I also switched between this and the eBook version which i enjoyed. People no longer want to see the flawless 6ft model but are looking for Janice next door who is real to them.” It was a platform with a difference. It was real life stuff, nothing was airbrushed and it was fun. I fell in love with it straightaway.
Serena is now looking forward to sharing what she has learned in the past year at a one-day conference in the Titanic Centre. The Rebel Mummy club was just fantastic. I just wanted to step into the book and join them, even if I am not a mummy. They sound like such a fun group. The main message is, 'We're not perfect women and we're not perfect mothers; we're all just basically hanging on by a thread here; my child is as crazy as yours; everyone is struggling and we're all going through this s*** together." From the creator of viral Tiktok sensation, Mammy Banter , comes a hilarious warts-and-all novel about modern motherhood – and how having it all sometimes isn’t what you think it might be. She used to want it all.
