About the Book

Re-issued with new jacket to coincide with the publication of Mandy's new title, BOYFRIENDS. Welcome to the wonderful, slightly-wacky world of Mandy Nolan. She is a stand-up comedian, an artist and a mother of five children ranging in age from toddler to teenager. Her on-stage accounts of everyday events of family life have entertained audiences for years. 'What I Would Do If I Were You' is a hilarious collection of stories centred around Mandy's chaotic and slightly dysfunctional family life - and her attempts to be like the perfect, ideal mother she knows exists ... somewhere. Mandy's perspective on home life and all its complications is delightfully unconventional and, above all, wickedly funny. Her humorous take on the bizarre events and mundanities of daily life are honestly and sharply observed - whether it is trying to revive her children's dying guinea pig, coping with their Faceuook friends, explaining the dangers of sex and drugs (while hoping desperately they don't find out about her own past indiscretions), battling against head lice and the politics of lunch-making, railing against being a human taxi or struggling to regain her own disappearing self-identity.

About the Author :
Mandy Nolan is a comedian, speaker, author, and coach known for her rapid fire observations of what she describes as "a woman whose dilemma it is to navigate the new frontiers in the suburban badlands of human relationships." Mandy is a columnist for the Byron Shire Echo, writes regularly for The Hoopla and Mamamia and produces video clips for the echonetdaily SoapBox. Home Truths is her third memoir.

Review :
"Mandy is a very talented comedienne and writer. Her writing contains so many witty and clever lines, I only hope she doesn't find out how many of them I've stolen. Mandy's accounts of motherhood were so heartfelt, powerful and vivid they reignited my urge to get pregnant again." --Akmal Saleh, stand-up comedian "Mandy Nolan is an irresistible force of Mother Nature - smart, ballsy and scandalously, uproariously funny. She can also write like a dream." --David Leser, journalist "Mandy Nolan's honesty is stunning. This book will twist your heart inside out and then have you roaring with laughing a moment later." --Fiona O'Loughlin, stand-up comedian "Yikes! It's rare to come across writing that's so brutally honest, so magnificent, so hilarious! Yet no matter how extraordinary or mundane the circumstance, her voice is universal. Dare you to put What I Would Do Without You down." --Amanda Keller, presenter Talking about your generation, Channel 10 and Jonesy and Amanda in the morning, WSFM 101.7
