3.0 out of 5 stars ok, very predictable, 5 Mar 2008
By J. Cox (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have read another book by Polly Williams and loved her column. the other book i read really made me laugh. I didn't find this anywhere near as funny and it was very predictable. I wanted it for ages! It was ok, but i wouldn't rush to recommend. I also bought the Egg Race by Polly Williams, i didn't realise when i bought both books that they were the same book, just re named! So don't be fooled to do the same thing as the Egg Race is still available to buy! Ok, but definately not as good as a yummy mummy.

2.0 out of 5 stars Annoying, 5 Dec 2007
A totally predictable story revolving around the desperate measures all thirty-something women will stoop to in order to get themselves them up the duff. Even the character who said that she never wanted kids, ends up up the duff and is ... guess what ... totally delighted. Meanwhile, back in the real world ....

3.0 out of 5 stars A Bad Bride's Tale, 21 Oct 2007
By Ms. A. J. Brown "elodie2005" (Bristol UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've read Polly Williams' first book and while I found it quite enjoyable I did find it a little hard to believe.

I enjoyed A Bad Bride's Tale a lot more. I thought there were believable characters and some thought provoking exploration of the problems facing women.

I would like to see a book like this without a man saving the day and creating the 'happy ending'. I guess that's what the readership wants though!
