Product Description
Sophie Mills has worked her Manolo Blahniks off to reach the near-top of her profession. And she's very happy with her priorities in life - her job, her neurotic cat Artemis and her passion for shoes. After all, relationships only get in the way. And as for children? She hasn't even begun to think about them yet.Until one day an unexpected visitor brings news of a strange inheritance and Sophie is suddenly, out of the blue, in sole charge of two children under the age of six. But motherhood can't be all that hard, can it?
Within twenty-four hours, her make-up is smeared all over the bathroom, Artemis has taken up residence on top of her wardrobe, and Sophie is in despair. And all her unconventional mother can suggest is Dr Roberts' Complete Dog Training and Care Manual.
Determined to rise to the challenge, Sophie soon realises that she'll need more than a business plan to cope with all this ...

Being a fan of Rowan Coleman's books I knew this one would be great.. For any single, career minded woman out there who feels that the be all and end all is impressing your boss and completing your to do list, this really opens your eyes.. Sophie Mills really is your typical high flyer. Her life is neat and organised and her barriers towards men and emotions are well and truly up! The relationship between Sophie and the two children is gently and emotionally portrayed by Rowan's writing. If you have a similar mindset to Sophie, you can really relate to how she feels when she is told about the death of her best friend and the fact she will be looking after her two daughters. There are some touching moments between Sophie and the girls throughout the book. Chapter 18 especially made me smile and cry at the same time! The comments made by Sophie's PA are also very funny.. Then there is the tale of the missing father, very interesting! Sit back, relax and read this book.. It really is fab and will appeal to everyone.. x

This is Rowan's 4th book, and in my opinion, probably her best. It really grabs you and draws you in, I couldn't wait to finish work and get back on the Tube to get another fix of it. The characters are completely believeable, and you really start to care about what happens to them. I laughed out loud, and had tears in my eyes, at different parts, and was sorry to finish it! This book will appeal to all, whether or not you have children or hold down an office job.
If you haven't read any of Rowan's books before, this would be a good place to start, then go back and read her others.

I really enjoyed this as it wasn't just another soppy chick lit novel as I thought it might be. Instead I felt this had a really good, interesting storyline which makes it stand out from so many other of this genre. I loved seeing how Sophie's life was turned upside down as she struggled to come to terms with life as a mother at first but eventually embraced it. It was a heartwarming tale but I have to fault it for being a little predictable.
Like many of the other reviews for this I must say I found the ending a little rushed and not as detailed as the rest of the novel. It felt like Coleman just wanted to write off her characters which was a bit of a shame as I really felt connected to them and interested in their lives. However, I must say that despite that fact this is definitely worth a read. It's funny, heartwarming and perfect for a holiday or when you're snuggled up ill on the sofa.
Give it a go, you won't be dissapointed.
