About the book

Sure, my bedroom gets lots of action. It’s called snoring.

Will and I didn’t have a clue what we were signing up for. It turns out that there’s loads we weren’t warned about:

1) You’ll spend more time spooning your child’s cuddly donkey than your own boyfriend.
2) Communication with your other half will be via post-it notes on the fridge, mainly telling him to buy more milk.
3) If you make the mistake of going to a nightclub you’ll nod off, drool, and be woken up by an angry bouncer.
4) In the middle of the night you’ll be begging Siri for advice on getting your baby to sleep. (Whale music doesn’t work.)
5) Sex is something that happened in another dimension.

But even if I feel like I’m waiting for my motherhood powers to come in the post, at least I’ve got Will. Our old life – festivals, sambuca shots, an actual sex life – might be a distant memory, but we can get through anything together, can’t we?

At least that’s what I thought until, one day, Will walked out on us… If I’m on my own (apart from Siri, obviously) can I do this whole parenting thing? Or I am destined to lose my sanity one sleepless night at a time?

My Review

From the minute I was able to read this I dived straight in as I had read the authors previous books and absolutely fell in love with them, so I was extremely excited to read this. 

This book features the characters which we have gotten to know and love and by this book I felt I knew each of them so well, I wish I’d friends like this bunch of sisters. They are all different but equally unique.  So for this book its mainly Beth’s story, and honestly my heart went out to her. She’s just had a baby an her boyfriend who should be there supporting her is spending less and less time with her and the baby, my heart was aching for her, I just wanted Will to step up and be there for her its a scary enough time having a baby but feeling lonely - oh my I just didn’t want Beth to feel that way. 

There is so many absolutely hilarious moments in this book at times I felt like I didn’t atop laughing, it was great made it fun and easy to read. 

I was gutted when I read that last chapter as I didn’t want this book to end it was that good! I am counting the days until the next book in this series. I’d say this is author is fast becoming one of my favourites.
