About the Book Told across the seasons of a single hectic year, Are We Having Fun Yet? follows Liz as she attempts to hold together a household, a marriage, a career and her own sanity while surrounded by relentlessly perfect school-run parents, unpredictable children and the small daily disasters that define family life.

It offers both comic relief and genuine reassurance to any parent feeling like they are barely keeping the show on the road, alongside beloved comic novels of domestic life, with sharp observation and big laughs throughout.
