To start I will say I have read and enjoyed every Nicola May book. I also read a few Ellie Campbell books so I like my “across the pond ladies”. This was not an exception. I need to remind others that the punctuation is different as well as the quotations. Just a pet peeve that people need to point out so I can say I can’t stand when people make negative comments like that or complain that they didn’t get the phrases.
So moving on this was a cute book with a sort of deep subject. Being the book is at the start of a marriage and all that is trying at the beginning it seems strange to say I got it! I liked the added fluff, so it was not as serious. I liked the main character Emma. Her dilemma was regarding children. I know when you get married a lot of times people start right off asking when you are planning a family. Her husband Mike was also well received. I understood her point of working with challenging kids. I mean if you sit there all day and see first hand the detriment, why have a child. She obviously saw the parent and kids and all the struggles.
The author give a balance and fills the void in Emma’s voice. She did it pretty good too. The author created a love/hate for me with Emma. Sometimes I wanted to hug her and sometimes I wanted to
I really enjoyed this story and I would say my chick lit fans will too! I can’t wait for her second book.
I’m an English teacher who is currently on a career break, having decided to be a full-time Mum to my twin daughters.
I finished ‘Moody not Broody’ two years ago and it’s been sitting in my computer file gathering word doc dust. However, with an urgent need to earn some money, I decided to self publish ‘Moody not Broody’ and get it ‘out there’ for people to read.
Currently, I’m working on my second novel, ‘The Bridal Prophet’.
