    About this ebook

    “What do you need a boyfriend for? You’re a mum.”

    Fiona Gibson’s eagerly awaited new novel is full of dating disasters. Sharply observed and laugh-out-loud funny, its perfect for fans of Tracy Bloom, Kate Long and Tess Stimson.

    Three blind dates
    Two teenage boys messing up her plans
    And one man who'll melt Alice's heart.

    'You need to get back in the saddle…' Alice despises that phrase. She's fine being single – with two slothful teenage boys and a meringue business to run, she has enough on her plate without negotiating the troublesome world of modern dating.

    However, Alice's three best friends have other ideas. Each one will present her with an utterly delicious, eligible man – all Alice has to do is pick her favourite.

    Perfect for fans of Tracy Bloom, Kate Long and Tess Stimson.

      Whilst I enjoyed this book overall I felt a little disappointed in this book, having enjoyed the previous two books I had read by Fiona Gibson very much. Now I listened to the book rather than reading it, so don't know if this limited my judgement of the book somewhat.
