If you liked the Unmumsy Mum, Hurrah for Gin and the List, you’ll LOVE this new romantic comedy. As a mother, I imagined myself somewhere between Mary Poppins and Jules Oliver. You know – growing my own courgettes, laughing whilst covered in mud, possibly having my own kiddie clothing range … that sort of thing. But unforeseen circumstances have thrown me far from vegetable patches and spoonfuls of sugar. I am currently a single mother, living with my parents. And this New Year, I am in need of a major detox. What am I detoxing? Daisy’s father, Nick. New Year is a time to diet and purify (after, of course, finishing up all the Christmas crap – there’s no point trying to diet with all that still hanging around. Glass of port anyone?). Mum is losing weight, courtesy of Jaffa cakes and low-fat strawberry angel delight (two of my five a day!). Dad is having a bicycle-clip clear out. My detox is my feckless, irresponsible former boyfriend. Alex and I will never work out if I can’t cut Nick out of my life. But how can I, when he’s Daisy’s dad? less
