Description

Another laugh-out-loud story from the Sunday Times bestseller.
Hannah’s getting cold feet, and needs a hen weekend to help her down the aisle – what could go wrong?
Hannah’s getting married… and has serious pre-wedding jitters. She adores Ryan but can’t figure out how to fit into his grown-up, family-sized life. There’s that fridge, for starters. That, too, is family-sized, with a gadget on the front that spits ice in her face. More alarming still are Ryan’s children, Daisy, 10 and Josh, 13, who clearly don’t relish the prospect of Hannah, a free-spirited greetings card illustrator, becoming their step-mum.
So she fires off invitations to a hen weekend – just the ticket to get her into the marrying mood. Trouble is…
New mum Sadie is leaving her twin babies for the very first time with their terrified dad…
Lou is unaware that her long-term man Spike is desperate to bundle her onto that Glasgow-bound train so he can hot-foot it round to see his secret fling Miranda…
And, unbeknown to the girls, Johnny, their sexy upstairs neighbour from their art college days, is still frequenting those haunts, desperately in need of a little magic to happen.
Perfect for fans of Jill Mansell and Sophie Kinsella.

The Great Escape

I really enjoyed this book and couldn't put it down. It made me both smile and chuckle and is so true to life. It made me realise that I am a normal mother and need time for myself as well as my family. Very good.
