The Bad Mother series follows one woman’s unfiltered account of motherhood across seven books. Suzy K. Quinn uses a diary format to capture the protagonist’s inner monologue as she navigates parenting, relationships, and her own expectations. The series started with The Bad Mother’s Diary in 2015 and wrapped with Bad Mother’s Wedding in 2020.
Each installment takes on a different challenge — detox, pregnancy, holidays, Christmas, even a pandemic — while maintaining the series’ trademark mix of humor and honesty about the less glamorous side of raising children.
