DNF this book after chapter five - then skipped ahead to read the end. 

This has an element of lightheartedness scattered throughout the writing but for me, it didn’t gel. 
There was a lot of time discussing whether or not a pregnancy would be kept, then lots of sexual references and just in general the characters didn’t appeal to me. 
When I skipped to the end, I didn’t feel like I missed all that much, and didn’t really care.

Frothy, slightly obvious, but a lovely feel-good factor that left me warmed to the proverbial cockles.
Emma starts the novel with a boyfriend who was a rather Peter Pan-like character. She ends it with a different boyfriend, a baby and yet starts lol on good terms with Ned.
This is the kind of book where you get pretty much what you're expecting. It's a pleasant enough thing to while away a couple of hours with,but it won't change my life.
