About this listen

So I’m knocked up again. Preggers. Up the duff. Or to put it another way...whoops.

And while Alex and I get our heads around unexpected parenthood, I’m having all the usual pregnancy symptoms: throwing up, indigestion, sciatica, constipation, migraines and brain-fuddling tiredness. Mother Nature is a psychopathic old hag. Luckily, modern science offers some lovely distractions in the form of cruise ships and European air travel. This summer I’m determined to get away. Mum is demanding the usual Duffy family all-inclusive Greek holiday. Dad wants to go camping in Norfolk. And Alex...well he’s asked me on a five-star luxury cruise. The trouble is, his mother is comin,g too....

The main female character is whiney, self entitled, lazy, contradicts herself constantly and intensely annoying.

Not one ounce of empathy for her. Feckless and whose qualities embody those I loathe in other females.

Instead of being a strong independent woman (who appears to be able to get pregnant by accident an alarming amount of times in this day and age) she appears to expect to be swept up and away by a rich suitor who will rescue her. If I had been a bloke she'd set her sights on I'd have scarpered.

I shouted FFS at her so many times. Along with at her loathsome family and friends.

Stick to the Why Mummy Drinks series, not this poor imitation.

Unlikeable characters.

I like this series but found the sudden onset of miscarriage quite triggering, there was no warning in the blurb or anything as far as I could see.

Should have a trigger warning?
