Not a book for me...I thought it would have been "hilarious" like it has been described.
But when you start with a character called Fanny Mycock - call the gay best friend a "poof" and have someone nicknamed "braindead" I think it's a hard pass. Sadly this hasn't aged well in just 10 years. Characters are morally not there and I disliked them all.
Thankfully just an audiobook from the library so there is no actual loss other than time.
I thought this would be a fun lighthearted read, alas it was a grown-up Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging. ick...

I am not a romance person nor a baby person and I hadn't read the first book, but it didn't matter! This book was so funny and was more about friendships than romance. Tracy Bloom writes for our time and she really brings the characters to life. The only thing I didn't like the ending because while everything else seemed plausible, that just felt too contrived. All in all, I highly recommend this book.

A great sequel to No-One Ever Has Sex On Tuesdays! Funny and sweet, a great message about communication and a refreshing honesty about parenthood!

I picked this book because of the word Ever on the Cover for a book challenge I am in. I found it highly entertaining and I was laughing quite a bit.
Ben and Katy are fun and flirty and I like that she doesn’t try to change him. Even when a baby is about to change everything she lets him be him. Does he drink a little too much sure but he is in his 20’s so that is understandable.
Mathew ahhh I am not sure if I like him or feel sorry for him.
I loved that the accent was authentic to the story and the characters, I like when the author/publishers get the right narrator for the story. Julia is perfect.
I am so going to snag the next book in this series.
