Story
I thought I was sorted on the life front. I was a heart surgeon with a loving partner and two gorgeous little girls. Except my husband’s version of "loving" is lying, cheating, and sleeping his way around London. Which means I definitely deserve a refund. Unfortunately, moving on isn’t that simple. Just because I know how to operate on a heart doesn’t mean I know how to fix my broken one. Plus, I lost the receipt for him years ago, so I’m definitely getting shortchanged. But now that I’m single, am I ready to mingle?

It’s almost Mummy’s 50th birthday. The hot flushes have just started, and nowadays she barely recognises herself. She’s been a wife and mother for so long that she can’t quite remember what life was like pre-moppets (although they’re more like giants now). Speaking of, Jane is constantly partying and naturally more interested in passing her driving test than her A-Levels. In fact, trying to get the kids through their exams at all is almost as excruciating as waiting for their results.

After eight years together, Lil Bailey thought she’d already found ‘the one’ - that is, until he dumped her for a blonde 20-something colleague. So she does what any self-respecting singleton would do: swipes right, puts on her best bra and finds herself on a first date with a handsome mountaineer called Max. What’s the worst that can happen? Well it’s pretty bad actually. First Max ghosts her and then, after weeing on a stick (but mostly her hands), a few weeks later Lil discovers she’s pregnant.

Minnie Cooper knows two things with certainty: that her New Year's birthday is unlucky, and that it's all because of Quinn Hamilton, a man she's never met. Their mothers gave birth to them at the same hospital just after midnight on New Year's Day, but Quinn was given the cash prize for being the first baby born in London in 1990 - and the name Minnie was meant to have, as well. With luck like that, it's no wonder each of her birthdays has been more of a disaster than the one before.

I got her fired. Okay, so I’d had a bad day and took it out on a bystander in a pizza shop. But there’s nothing innocent about Ally Morales. She proves that her first day of her new job in my office, after being hired by my mother. So, maybe, her colorful, annoying, inexplicably alluring personality brightens up the magazine’s offices that have felt like a prison for the past year. Maybe, I like that she argues with me in front of the editorial staff. And maybe, my after-hours fantasies are haunted by those brown eyes and that sharp tongue.

Publisher's Summary
It’s normal to wish that your baby came with a snooze button, right?
When I got pregnant, 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:
- In the middle of the night you’ll be begging Siri for advice on getting your baby to sleep. (In case you’re wondering, whale music doesn’t work.)
- If you make the mistake of going to a nightclub, you’ll nod off, drool, and be woken up by an angry bouncer.
- You’ll spend more time spooning your child’s cuddly donkey than your own boyfriend.
- Communication with your other half will be via Post-it notes on the fridge, mainly telling him to buy more milk.
- 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?
A totally hilarious and absolutely relatable tale for anyone who has survived parenthood purely on microwave meals, wishing for an IV drip of coffee to get them through! This will make your belly ache with laughter. Perfect for fans of Why Mummy Drinks, Sophie Ranald, and Sophie Kinsella.

Absolutely brilliant story, funny and insightful
This series of books is just hysterical and Beths story is funny, sad and heartwarming in equal measure. It's a clever tale ofhow we all change as we go through life, how we deal with lifes stressed and the incredible family dynamics. I love hte unsung hero that is Beths dad and her relationship with er sisters is great. Kirsten has written two others which follow the lives of two out of the five sisters and they are equally brilliant. What I love is that there are things in the book which happen and overlap events in the other books which then gives you a completely different perspective. I love that each book can be read in any order in thier own right. What I love more is that when I normally fall in love with the characters I'm left wanting to know more about them adn the events in thier lives. This Kristen does with such skill that I already hope that she is writing Grace and Lucy's stories!
It's funny and clevery, incresibly well written with characters that I adore and this is the third sister I've read about. Once you're read this, you'll want to go find the other sisters and read more. Absolutely brilliant concept and I thoroughly reccommend.

Parenthood & Unexpected Friendships
This book has a different feel than the other two books my favourite has to be “Has anyone seen my sexlife” more for the comedy factor. This instalment is about Beth affectionately known as B and Will. They have been together around 8 years then they have a baby and the whole dynamics change in their relationship. Beth adjusting to motherhood and her new body shape and Will who is trying to put in more hours to pay and support his family.
You can see they need to talk but things spiral out of control the next thing is he has moved out. We then see the mighty force of Beth’s family advising her left right and centre and how do they make it right? Is there a relationship left to salvage........
