Book Reviews
“If you’ve had enough of reading about yummy mummys, this tale of one woman’s missing maternal urges provides a welcome antidote to the glut of babbling baby books.”
“Amber is a successfull, happily married head hunter who thinks she has it all. But while she loves her pal’s progeny, she can’t imagine having any of her own. And in a world where women are expected to juggle careers and child care, Amber’s pilloried for opting out of the parent trap. It’s not until her gay best friend admits that he wants to adopt that she’d finally forced to fathom out why she doesn’t want a sprog. Is she lacking a nuturing nature or has her present become controlled by her far from perfect past?”
“There are no dribbling anti-child clichés in this heartfelt take on how friends can be the new family. A refreshing and thought provoking peak at people who’d rather have a cat-flap than a kid. ”
