Having seen and read some of Louise's blog, I saw this book and was intrigued by its pretty and unusual front cover.
This book was really fun - with lots of motivation and uplifting moments. It shows what raising a child as a single mother is like and all the complications that come with it. Robin is fierce, determined, yet very obviously human and emotional just like the rest of us, making her character very true to life. Lyla (her daughter) is adorable and comes out with many things that sell her as a small child too, because the book must be in part written from experience. The plot was good, some twists and turns that I definitely had not expected, and exciting. I never really knew what was going to happen next.
The humour was brilliant, and in many cases highly relatable (I am not a parent, but some of the scenes about the PSMs - Posh School Mums - brought back memories for me too!)
I found the ending slightly confusing, as a cliffhanger/preview scene from right at the front of the book (before chapter 1) was never really explained - i.e could have had different meanings.
Other than that, I really enjoyed the book and would be very interested to read more about Robin or just more from Louise
