Single mum Polly has a lot of baggage, but it all basically boils down to two things, boys and booze. She’s been to hell and back, but for right now, she seems to be doing ok, holding down a job in a café, looking after son Louis and staying off the sauce. She’s even in a position to help those she meets, like her fellow AA-ers and single dad Ben at school who is adjusting to his new role.

Otherwise, I enjoyed this book and found it captivated me more than I expected it to. It’s a little bit more special than ordinary chick lit offerings, though it fits very clearly into this genre. The ending seemed a little rushed, especially as from the blurb on the back I’d expected Matthew to have a larger role. That said, Ben was a much better male lead so I’m glad he took priority.

[[The Kinsella Sisters by Kate Thompson]] is another winning read for fans of this genre.
