3,5 Stars This is the fourth and apparently final book in the 'Mummy' series, which makes sense since the kids are almost grown up now. And honestly, 15 year old Peter and 18 year old Jane don't feature in so many of the diary entries of Ellen anyway. She also writes about her life as a single woman, about her friends, her new sexy neighbour, her ex Simon and his new girlfriend, the imminent danger of losing her job, and also about her two beloved dogs. Often I recognised the 'old' Ellen I came to love in the previous books. But sometimes she also mused a bit too much about general stuff. These parts even got a bit philosophical and were a bit tedious to read. Also, many diary entries are way too long. She writes nearly 50 pages about the weekend she babysits Edward, I think. It's endless! Nevertheless, it was really fun to get a glimpse at how it will be with two teenagers in the house (we'll see how much fun it's in real life later) and I still found lots of things to agree on with Ellen or where we've made the same experience about some thing or other.
