I just realized that I never got around to writing an actual review for this book - whoops! I mean, I did give it 5 stars, which for me is pretty unheard of, so there's that. :)
First and foremost, no matter how good a book is, how great its characters, how interesting the plot, or how engaging the premise, if the writing style isn't there, the book isn't going to make it. This author has got skills. She's witty, sharp, and most importantly, engaging. So many humorous turns interwoven with real emotionally charged moments struck a beautiful balance. You can't help but root for Meg and Danny, and the way the author masterfully portrays both party's thoughts and feelings really kept the story from feeling one sided.
I snickered out loud reading this in bed, multiple times I laughed so hard I woke the dog up - thank goodness DH sleeps like a rock! This was my first outing with author Kristen Bailey, but I definitely look forward to reading more from her.

A hilarious, relatable and a great read. The writing was fun and full of British jokes and terms. It’s about a family who’s life has the normal ups and downs like any other family and how sex changes from your 20s to being married with kids. Meg & Dannys relationship is great, full of stress but also full of funny moments and love. Yes, this book talks about sexual interactions but it isn’t done in a crude way, it’s very real and leaves you laughing out loud at some parts. I loved Meg’s character in particular, she shows venerability and has a lack of body confidence after having kids. This book is a feel-good read, so grab a glass of wine and read it with your feet up or in the bath! I loved the messages in this book. I think it showed how too many people are embarrassed to talk about sex and love … and it leaves me questioning, why? Let’s be more open, let’s discuss and advise where we can, let’s not be embarrassed anymore! I certainly will be reading more books written by Kristen. 5 sexy stars!! “Sex is a feeling as well, an energy; being confident in yourself.”

I LOVE this book and I LOVE Kristen Bailey!
One of the funniest books I have read! Ever! I absolutely loved this book and can't wait to read her others.
This book is based on one of the sisters - Meg Morton & her husband Danny.
'Has Anyone Seen My Sex Life? is their utterly hilarious and unmissable tale ideal for any couple obsessed by bin day, and who have ever felt like they spend more time washing the dishes than getting lucky.
Kristen Bailey is definitely one of my favourite authors!

One cannot walk away from a Kristen Bailey story without rolling on the floor laughing and falling in love with her quirky characters and their extremely hilarious capers. I picked this book up after reviewing the very uproarious Can I Give My Husband Back? Needless to say, I couldn’t put this book down.
Meg’s confusion and vulnerability over her husband’s racy and unusual hobby have made her question herself and her marriage, but when Danny explains his passion, she discovers that maybe it’s not so bad. And then the games begin and their life is changed forever.
I absolutely adore Meg and Danny. They are such a lovely pair with three adorable daughters. It’s a delightful and amusing treat to see Meg and Danny find their mojo again after three kids and 12 years of marriage while trying to keep a secret that could blow the doors off their life as they see it. Add in all of the colorful characters like Danny’s traveling womanizing brother, Stu, Danny’s lovable parents, and the bizarre and endearing local couples, and you get a rip-roaring eye full of debauchery and hilarity beyond your wildest dreams. My favorite character is Danny. He is such a lovable, humble, and extraordinary dad, husband, brother, son, friend, and boss. A man of little words with a heart of gold and an unusual talent.
Ms. Bailey’s writing is bursting with intelligent and entertaining banter that will make you snort with glee. Her characters are strong and vulnerable at the same time and get themselves into fantastically funny and zany situations.
This book insights belly laughs and is filled with heart, love, and good old fashioned family relationships that will make you want more from this author. So give it a try. I guarantee it will make your day.
