All good things come in the little packages... Meet The Baby Group: Natalie ran her own design company until baby Freddie unexpectedly came along. Now the capable person she once was is trapped inside a crazy woman's body, longing for just one decent night's sleep and words of more than one syllable. Meg is onto her fourth child but still feels she has to take notes. Meg's sister-in-law Frances organises her little boy like he's a private in the army, but underneath her prickly facade she longs for the kind of friendships others seem to find so easy. Former career girl Jess sees danger lurking in every corner, doubting she'll ever be a good mother. Stay-at-home house-husband Steve is just glad to have the opportunity to spend time with his daughter. And sixteen-year-old Tiffany is the youngest - yet possibly the wisest - of them all. It's about six very different parents, and six very different lives. But when Natalie's dodgy wiring leads to a series of chance encounters they rapidly discover - through Baby Music, Baby Aerobics, coffee and more importantly cake - that there's safety in numbers. And their own unofficial baby group is formed... Kadın Kurgu Kurgu Romantik

Good holiday read, a little typical characteristic but overall not bad
Pop it in your bag

Good to pass the time

You will see yourself in so many of these characters! I loved this book. I laughed and laughed. I became one of the baby group whilst reading this book. Lovely, easy and funny listen.

If you've got kids...

A good story, a little long for the story it tells. Could have been 8 hours long as still told the same tale. Easy to listen to and a good hoilday listen.

Long for the story it tells

Addictive, funny and sadly believable - great, strong characters that you will end up wanting to share a coffee morning with. Highly recommended!

Funny and 'Unputdownable'

May just be a personal preference, but I didn't like the narrator's voice and the *way* she spoke. She was fine at reading and voices, I just didn't sound the same age as the characters and she sounded too... posh? I can't put my finger on it. I think it spoiled the comedy moments for the main character as she didn't have the tone for rom com. her voice it really bugged me for over half the book before I got used to it.

I bought this for some easy listening and a HEA and it was that. The story was okay, pretty uneventful. the main character had some flaws that bugged me too, the way she treated other people mainly, but her character realised and improved by the end so that was okay. I would have liked the main character to have a bit more depth, the history was there but it wasn't really linked to what she was feeling in an effective way. She was a good friend to Meg and Tiff but apart from that, Natalie just seems a bit... simple and ignorant.

It was good that the author touched on some important issues and topics but there was so much room to go deeper in some of them, especially the racism angle. It felt like such a white person response (which obviously it is) but I was disappointed that it was just accepted by the characters and then just forgotten in the hope the racists would come around. Especially as Tiff was made to be the wise character. I would have been fuming for my daughter's treatment.

I probably wouldn't read this again, normally i can listen to a light hearted audiobook in a day, but this took me 3-4 as I wasn't gripped at all. I genuinely didn't know how it would end though so I'll give her that, but maybe cos the relationships with the men weren't particularly in depth either.

Average, lacks depth, don't like the narrator
