About this listen

A British chick lit romantic comedy novel.

This book is part of the Parker Sisters British chick lit series, but can be heard as a standalone (no cliffhanger).

Expect little, forgive much?

After a whirlwind courtship, Brittany Beresford married her Prince Charming and looked forward to living happily ever after. Five years later, she's been reduced to a not-quite-desperate housewife, with a husband who spends more time flossing his teeth than holding meaningful conversations with her.

She braves his disapproval and turns working mother and, other than feeling far more drawn to a handsome baker she works with than him, things seem to be looking up. But then she discovers that his "hobbies" include something even worse than golf - and he expects her to put up and shut up.

Fairy tale illusions shattered, but still believing marriage is for life and wanting the best for her son, Brittany has a choice to make: should she follow her heart or her conscience?

I found it fascinating that this book was light, romantic and funny but also touched on some very real issues. In a very gentle way it touched on the unrealistic expectations girls face growing up, women face as wives and then as mothers. It covered the very real challenges of being a stay at home Mum and the guilt many women face when they become working Moms. The feelings can be staggering and require a lot of support which many women do not get. There was even a little bit about adoption too. But central to the story was divorce and the experience of going through that while balancing the needs of a child.

That said, the story was light and sweet too. I loved that it was a celebration of strong and supportive female friendships. I also loved how the story ended. It was so full of possibilities.

Helen Taylor has done a fantastic job of narrating the book and bringing the characters to life. A quick, easy and thoroughly enjoyable listening experience!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

A special book!
