I was so excited to read this book after watching Louise on Youtube for years. This book is about a single mum called Robin Wilde, and her 6 year old daughter Lyla. Robin is fed up of being single and lonely, and wants to not only find love but make life better for both her and Lyla. It's light-hearted and humorous in parts.
Where I lost interest is the way the book reads. It's very blog post-esque, very informal and seems like you're reading a diary or blog, rather than a novel. There's grammatical errors, poorly structured sentences and overall feels very unfinished.
I almost felt like I was reading Louise's autobiography. There's lots of similarities and I found it very hard to distance myself from Louise and Robin, and Darcey and Lyla.

The story was nice, albeit predictable. It was an easy read, I just expected a little more. Would I be so harsh if it wasn't a Youtuber? I'm not sure.
It wasn't horrendous, but I would recommend other books over it if asked.
