Worst experience ever
I have no idea what possessed me to carry on listening to this book.
It was utter rubbish from the start.
The performance was awful done by a newsreader. Great voice but totally distracting and wrong for the book.
Disappointing all round.
Will be asking for money back.

Moving story - realistic to first time Mother’s
The realities of becoming a mum for first time and the special kinship that can be formed in a mother’s group. Having a baby can be life changing and changes all the dynamics of life in ways you never predict. This book is warts and all of those changes and how important a Mother’s group can be. Loved this story... very moving.
