... honest, moving and funny. A passage where [Heawood] realises she will always worry about whether her daughter is warm enough made me cry, but she never mentions her, or her daughter’s father by name, calling him only The Musician. The book is more about her experiences and will help other women who have to deal with insensitive health visitors assuming that their baby has a 'daddy'. And although she puts a lot of effort into not hating The Musician, I felt exasperated at his behaviour.

Smart, funny, and touching.

Bridget Jones’s Diary meets Sex in the City, Heawood’s entertaining account should appeal to fans of similar memoirs on single parenting, motherhood, and relationships..

... beguiling.

... an unexpected adventure in self-acceptance.
