Blog Tour - The School Run by Helen Whitaker

Today I am taking part in Compulsive Readers Blog Tour to celebrate the publication of Helen Whitaker's 'The School Run'.

Two mothers.  Two best friends. One school place.

Old friends Imogen and Lily will do whatever it takes to get their children into the perfect school.

Two mothers. Two daughters. One school place.

Imogen and Lily are old friends - they've shared hangovers, unsuitable boyfriends and wild nights out together. But now they're mums, and their partying days are behind them.

When a place comes up at one of the best primary schools in the area, both women want it for their daughters. From faking religious beliefs to bogus break-ups, Imogen and Lily will go to any lengths to secure the perfect school for their children - and so will all the other mothers.

Will their friendship survive the strain? Will their marriages take the pressure? And when a sexy new vicar arrives on the scene, will the mothers' keep focus for long enough to keep their eyes on the prize?

'The School Run' is a laugh out loud, true to life tale of life at the school gates and the lengths people go to to ensure that they get the school place they want for their child at the best primary school possible.

Life at the school gates could be a soap opera. Having two children I am well aware of the leading conversations, unobvious boasting and comparisons parents will divulge throughout, seemingly, innocent conversations and these are all included within Helen's brilliant book. 

Thank you to Compulsive Readers and Trapeze for inviting me to take part in the blog tour and for a copy of the book in return for an honest review.
