This is Not a Book About Benedict Cumberbatch by Tabitha Carvan

4.0

Really liked this book. As the title states it's not really a book about BC. It's about finding your identity again after becoming a mother. It's about remembering what you were passionate about as a kid and teenager. It's about making a list of what you are interested in now as an adult. It led me to fanfiction (I had no idea!!). It questions why it's socially acceptable for men to like football, to wear fangear, decorate the desks, own football team mugs, tattoo themselves and scream at games; but it's not acceptable (morally corrupt, what would their husbands think?) for women to develop a passionate interest in adult life.
This book has prompted me to start my own list of interests as it's important for me to remember that I'm not just a wife, mum and breadwinner. I love sewing clothes, I love reading and learning, I love a good crime tv series, I love baking, I love Hamilton the Musical, I love singing!!
