WINNER OF BEST AUTHOR READ AWARD - FESTIVAL OF ROMANCE… At 3.10pm every weekday, parents gather at Featherstone Primary in Denbury to collect their children. For a special few, the friendships forged at the school gates will see them through lives filled with drama, secrets and sorrows. When Yummy Mummy Alana reveals the identity of her love-child's father, she doesn't expect the consequences to be quite so extreme. Ex Czech au-pair Earth Mummy Dana finds happiness in her secret sideline, but really all she longs for is another child. Slummy Mummy Mo's wife-beating husband leads her down a path she never thought possible, and Supper Mummy Joan has to cope when life deals her a devastating blow. And what of Gay Daddy Gordon? Will he be able to juggle parenthood and cope with his broken heart at the same time? Four very different mothers. One adorable dad. And the intertwining trials and tribulations that a year at the primary school gates brings.©2015 Nicola May (P)2018 W. F.

The story itself was ok although it wasn’t that easy to track who was who.. grating narration didn’t help, especially when alana’s daughter was referred to as Rosie (Maureen’s daughter’s name). Confused the hell out of me until I rewound several times and realised it was just a mistake. I didn’t grasp the end either … did her friend steal Maureen’s £50k lottery ticket? Strange

Grating narration. Story ok

Lovely, well written story. Good strong characters full of real life scenarios. I highly recommend downloading and listening to this story.

Another great story by a good author

This was a great listen. First of all I got confused by all of the parents and their kids but I kept on listening and really enjoyed this book. I am not surprised it had won an award. I will probably listen to it again at some point just to make sure I didn't miss anything.

I am used to the narrator now so her voice doesn't grate on my nerves.

I would have scored it higher, if I had not listened to the excellent books called 'A year in The life of a Playground Mother' by Christie Barlow and the sequel 'The Misadventures of a Playground mother' but I did have that to compare it too.

Good story 3🌟🌟🌟

Another really easy listening book by Nicola!
Penny Andrews has a voice that you will either love or really not like. I personally think she brings the stories to life and now look for books especially narrated by her.
It’s very easy listening and it doesn’t take to much Concentration.
Really enjoyable book so well done Nicola and penny.

If you likes the shop in Cockleberry Bay you will love this book as well

I love it!
