Reading Playgroups and Prosecco is like reading a modern day Bridget Jones- if Bridget had written a diary when her child was 3 years old, had had a divorce and had to contend with a teenage daughter.
I still dislike the cover of this book however, the yellow text mixed with the muted blue/green is just not attractive or eye catching. I would have much preferred a more pastel aesthetic which is more common with this style of book. Think a Fiona Gibson cover style.
Set out like a diary, you truly connect with Frankie and she is just so relatable. Any mum would be able to relate to her utter disbelief yet longing to be an Instagram mummy- that said, you definitely do not need to have children to enjoy this book. It's easy to read and Jo Middleton is hilarious. I haven't read her blog but finishing this book makes me want to check it out.
Although all opinions are my own in this review I would like to thank Ebury Press and Readers First for an advance publication copy.
