I found this book somewhat predictable from the start and very slow moving. There were times where I found myself getting frustrated with the author because the writing wasn't particularly eloquent. However, as bedtime easy reading it was perfect! I never had to think too much about what was coming next and the characters felt relatable. The author clearly favoured one outcome from the get-go but that's not too much an issue to me. There were some characters which could have been developed more, and others that were introduced without much mention right at the end. Else, this was an enjoyable read focussing on the ordinary 'single mum and superwoman'.
