Plot:

Never has a late-night stand led to such chaos!

Childhood sweethearts Matthew and Katy agree they must never see each other ever again after they end up in bed together following a school re-union.

So all is forgotten…until eight months later when a shock meeting at an antenatal class forces them to confront the fact that Matthew could be the father of Katy’s baby. Oblivious to the mayhem unfolding, Matthews highly strung wife frets over giving birth to twins and Katy’s much younger boyfriend refuses to take fatherhood seriously.

Love and life are messy but Katy and Matthew take things to a whole new level as deep emotions begin to resurface and hormones run riot.

How will they navigate their way through this almighty pick-up?

Review:

36 year old woman Kate has ‘accidentally’ ended up pregnant, has a one-night stand with an old flame whilst she is in a relationship with what appears to be a tosser at the start of the novel. How do you ‘accidentally’ not wear a thing called a condom if you are going to even cheat? This idiotic bitch got herself into this mess and complains about it and literally is the most unprepared person ever for the baby, even I was more prepared. But the fact she would even let it get this far when she clearly didn’t want it. If you don’t want the baby don’t have it and stop lying when you are both in antenatal classes with your one-night stand. Kate is a stupid bitch but Daniel (Gay best friend) was hilarious I swear he’s the reason this novel is getting a good rating. The way he handled his friend’s super long labour journey. Seriously don’t know how people would be able to push out a massive or normal sized baby never mind having a long labour of pain. In my opinion, no pain relief is the best. The rest makes you sick. Your body will know what to do but Kate clearly had a long labour. Pushing a baby out is not a pleasant experience for any bullshitting reading articles it is sore, especially the bigger the baby’s head.

Anyway, this novel was funny because of Daniel. Kate is stupid. The two guys she sleeps with, Ben the dopey boyfriend that’s a flake, he’s stupid as well being obsessed with games as a grown adult. If he’s a teacher why does he come across so idiotic? Matthew (ex) they refer to him as a stuck-up annoying person when in reality he’s a bit annoying yes, but he was trying to be practical about the situation.

Kate does not seem to comprehend the fact that the most DIFFICULT bit is the POST-NATAL. Being pregnant you’re just a big lump carrying a human so it feels shit for your body to be so fat. But the actual baby itself and the mental tolerance it brings to keep yourself in check is the most important part. If someone doesn’t even have the audacity to check in on you AT ALL that is just plain ignorant as that’s the most difficult challenge. Not the pregnant bit …

The audio recording I listened to should have been a younger voice, sounded like an old woman which is not very appropriate.

4/5 Stars
