Had me laughing out loud

I really enjoyed the beginning of the book when I wrote my first impressions review, however I was concerned I would not be able to fully enjoy the book as I wasnt a parent. How wrong I was. From the beginning, this book had me laughing out loud at the hilarious and sometimes awkward stories which you could completely imagine happening in your own life. Although I dont always enjoy diary styled books, the layout of this reminded of Bridget Jones' Diary which I think is one of the reasons I loved it so much. I felt like I identified with the main character Frankie immediately. Her love of Jaffa Cakes and processco / G&Ts was something I could relate to. Although the style was similar to that of Helen Fieldings', I dont believe it was a copy cat version. This book had a host of amazing characters which I liked to read about. Unfortunately i noticed a couple of typos in the book which normally puts me off the book however I was enjoying the book so much it didnt really bother me. There were several times I had to read a sentence or two out loud to my boyfriend because I found it so funny (an incident with her youngest daughter and a fountain springs to mind...). I am not sure how much he appreciated this constant interruption, but I felt some of the writing had to be shared as it made me laugh so much.
The stories were hilarious but still believable and you can imagine a lot of them happening in your own lives. I hope this is not the last we hear from Frankie as I think she has more quirkly stories to tell.
This is an excellent summer or holiday read. Yes i would class it as an easy read but that is in no way an insult. This is the type of book that will provide comfort and comic relief at the end of a stressful day
