The blurb:
“What do
you need a boyfriend for? You’re a mum.”
Fiona
Gibson returns with a laugh-out-loud read, sharply observed and full of dating
disasters.
Three blind
dates
Two teenage
boys messing up her plans
And one man
who'll melt Alice's heart.
'You need
to get back in the saddle…' Alice despises that phrase. She's fine being single
– with two slothful teenage boys and a meringue business to run, she has enough
on her plate without negotiating the troublesome world of modern dating.
However,
Alice's three best friends have other ideas. Each one will present her with an
utterly delicious, eligible man – all Alice has to do is pick her favourite.
Perfect for
fans of Tracy Bloom, Kate Long and Tess Stimson.
My Opinion:
*Book provided

“What do
you need a boyfriend for? You’re a mum.”
Tha’s how
Fergus, one of Alice’s son reacts on her going on dates. I love books involving
children and this time it was a little different, because Logan and Fergus are
already teenager. It was great to get an insight to family life though, I
really enjoyed it.
Alice’s a
single mom, working as a secretary at a school and having her little meringues
business. Then there are her boys, I loved the three oft hem together.
It took my
a while to get into the story though. I can’t really say why, because there
were some really funny parts and I like Fiona’s writing.
It was
interesting followinging Alice’s story and reading about her dates. The dates
seemed a little unreal for me and unfortunately Alice’s feelings didn’t come
through. She seemed to enjoy the dates and felt a spark and then suddenly it
was over. Some decisions were made a little bit too fast form y taste.
Next to
Alice’s dating stories, she had to deal with her boys and also their day, so
plenty was going on, sometimes almost a little too much.
Alice’s
best friends are great. It’s so lovely of them to send her on different dates
and we are really kept wondering with whom Alice’s was going to end up. Let’s
just say, she made the right choice.
There were
some adorable scenes in this book, especially the ones including children, so
sweet. On Alice’s birthday the story finally clicked with me and was so glad.
Alice has got wonderful friends and amazing sons.
Fiona’s
writing is hilarious, sweet and adorable.
