review 1: I will definitely be looking for more books by this author, and can see myself re-reading this book in the futureThis book is narrated by the same character all of the way through, which I feel is becoming more rare as time goes by and authors choose to use multiple voices to narrate. I found myself settling into this book with ease and the time passed quickly while reading it, I didnt want to put it down as I was enjoying it but it didnt have a grip on me that meant I couldnt put it down. I really liked the characters and felt they were described well, allowing me to picture them and feel like I knew them. The one problem I had with this book, was that I found the business to be rather unbelievable. I do not see how it would be possible to offer all they do, have a big en... moreough premises and gain a loan to pay for it all. It is fictional though so I tried to ignore this fact, I do believe that it should have been more realistic though. This is the reason I have scored the book 4 out of 5 stars rather than the full 5You dont have to be a mum to love this book, but any mums out there will wish they could step into the story and go for a coffee!
review 2: This is the first book I have read by Mink Elliott but this book does actually follow on from her previous book The P***ed off Parents Club, having not realised this when I first brought the book I was a little bit hesitant about reading it in case I felt like I didn't follow the flow of the book by not already being introduced to the characters but I didn't find this at all, there were a few mentions of The P***ed off Parents Club but I still found I was on track with the storyline.The main character in this book is Roxy who is our typical mum struggling to try and balance out the different aspects of her life, work, money and weight being her main struggles alongside trying to raise daughter Joey and be the loving wife to Jack. I do not have kids but even I found I could relate to her character constantly trying to struggle through the worries of life so Roxy was an easy character to connect to.The storyline was very easy in the typical chick lit style which made it a great beach read. The book gets off to a great start so we are absorbed straight into the story. There are a great mix of characters in this book some you will love, others you will have your guard up from the moment you meet them. There was some great humour in this book most of which came from little Joey who I loved. less
