Playgroups & Prosecco Jo Midleton
Paperback published by penguin
JANUARY 3RD
Jaffa Cakes – 7. Times I was forced to watch a small child do a dance involving a dusty piece of ribbon found under the sofa – 4. Inappropriate thoughts about Zac Efron – undisclosed.
Single mum Frankie’s whole life revolves around her kids. But when your toddler has a more active social life, something has to change. Forget ‘me-time’, Frankie would settle for some adult conversation, and watching something other than the Disney channel.
The local playgroup may be ruled by Instagram mums with perfect husbands but Frankie accidentally forms a splinter group of single parents. After all, Mummy really needs a playdate of her own.
Now pass the prosecco.
My Review
Playgroups & Prosecco is Jo Middleton’s debut novel
Playgroups & Prosecco is a delicious funny book, that I highly recommend. I related to this story as I have two girls myself & im fully aware of the ups and downs girls can be like.
Frankie is thirty seven, with two girls & is divorced. Frankie is leading a single mothers life, with working and raising her two girls. She spends her time drinking Proseco, writing a diary and watching on Instagram about a family that has everything, making her feel worse about her own life. I related to Frankie watching about a family that has it all, as everyone likes to watch something, I like watching dynasty the rich family with the huge house, maid and butler. It appears Frankie is very unhappy with her lifestyle as she even watches a family in their house at the bottom of her garden. Sometimes someone else’s life can seem much more interesting than your own. There’s only one thing left for Frankie is to make a New Year plan to make her own life more interesting. Can Frankie pull this New Year plan off?
All I wish for now is book 2
