Review

'Sarah Bilston has written a very clear-sighted novel about how tough it is for women to juggle career, marriage and childbirth - I laughed out loud and I couldn't put it down' Marian Keyes ** 'Even if you've never been pregnant you'll be as instantly hooked on this addictive novel as I was. While most of us dream of days on end in bed with nothing to do but eat and watch television, Q shows us the true nature of being a caged animal ' Plum Sykes, author of BERGDORF BLONDES

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy reading , 30 Mar 2009
By E. M. TAYLOR "lainey pixie" (Scotland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bed Rest (Paperback)
This is a great book to read if you fancy something fairly easygoing and lighthearted. Not very 'substantial', but a good read all the same!

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun!, 30 Jul 2008
By DevJohn01 (Somerset, NJ) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
There is more to Sara Bilston's 'BED REST' than meets the eye. On the surface it is a witty tale of a woman ordered to be on bed rest for the remaining 15 weeks of her pregnancy. Quinn, or Q as she is affectionately called, decides to write a diary about her weeks on bed rest for her child to read one day but as bed rest starts to take it's toll, Q soon realizes that her life may not be the perfect life within which to raise a child.

Q and husband Tom seem to have it all. They are both high powered corporate attorneys with a small but great NY apartment who are both crazy about each other...that is when they actually get to see each other. After a rare passion filled evening, Q finds herself pregnant and thrilled but when she finds out that her amniotic fluid is low and she must be on bed rest for the remainder of her pregnancy she is obviously scared to death. However, during her time on bed rest (which is no easy feat for someone used to the hustle-and-bustle of life as New York City attorney) Q soon realizes a few things about her life. Her job is not all that it is cracked up to be, her family may be a bit more misunderstood than she imagined and most earth shatteringly that her marriage may not be as solid as she's once imagined. Workaholic Tom doesn't seem to have any time for her so what is going to happen when the baby arrives?

`BED REST' does not have the usual chick-lit clichés such as the doting husband the quirky friend or Q trying to scheme her way out of the bed every time you turn around. This is an honest take on life, the effects of a new baby on a marriage and the real life scares of a high risk pregnancy. This novel all though dragging at times was overall a fun read and certainly not predictable! 31/2 stars!
