Going Ga Ga

'Why is my hair starting to go as grey as Blake Carrington's? What is our local pub called? Are bootcut jeans still fashionable? These are just some of the questions I'll never answer now I've had my first baby.'

With her TV career hitting the skids and her daughter's nappy doing the same every two hours, her husband suddenly unemployed and the bank writing to her only in red, Mel needs to come up with a scheme, and fast: Move to a house they can't afford, of course! Welcome to an endless cabaret of sleeplessness, removal men, sinister toddler groups, husband-stealing lodgers and competitive mums.

Reviews

self-deprecatingly amusing

—— Heat

Hilarious

—— Daily Mail

Funny

—— The Times

Pure, poetic language

—— Irish Examiner

Compelling...a shocking account of religion gone awry and a tyrannical regime that still exists today.

—— The Works

a real-page-turner...horrifying, funny and unnerving...Scheeres's radiant humour is even more apparent as the book continues and it is her sparkling spirit in the face of adversity that remains long after the last page is turned.

—— Georgina Rodgers , Press Association

Took my breath away - for the cruelties she suffered, for the courage it took to survive and tell her story...at turns heart-breaking and humorous

—— Laura Fraser, author of 'An Italian Affair'

There are no heroes here - just real people whose bravely told stories could save lives

—— Betsy Lerner, author of Food and Loathing

Chilling

—— 4 Stars , Hot Stars

Gripping

—— Star

Powerful

—— The Sun

sounds like a spoof of French Women Don't Get Fatbut it's serious one-upmanship...the diet book fad sweeping Australia

—— Sydney Morning Herald

Moriyama's book is a compelling wake-up call

—— Sunday Telegraph (Australia)

Brimming with easy recipes and lifestyle tips

—— Sunday Express Magazine
