Well I have missed being chick lit world after reading some different gene and this book brought me back to what I love best.
This is the first book I have read by this author and so glad I did and will looking out for further books.
So so related to this as being a mother of two girls and my youngest will starting in this year into pre school and I will be the mother with the child that screams don't leave me !!!!! But I also have worked in a school to so I reacted to the main characters Gemma and Joe.
Gemma is the Playgroup leader and this her first year and so ready for this but seems to keep hitting hurdles in the form of Joe Balls the new head of reception they both have different approaches to teaching but over time they come round to each other ideas and get on the same path. Both characters have pasts in ex husbands and wives so I left that spoiler out as it needs to be read . The book also hits a subject of mothers with different issues with parenting shows that friendships are the best support and advice ..
If you are a mother or teacher in a school and have not read this book then you should as you will not be able to put it down..

Succession by Living Michael
I was very lucky to sent this lovely book from Penguin to review and I glad they did this is the first book I have read by this author and I was hooked from page one if you like the White Queen and the Game of Thrones then you love this book.
This book is based round the war of the roses and two strong female characters which make this story easy to read and fall into .
The first is Margaret of Aryou a French princess sent across the waters to marry Henry VI I really felt for this character being young and sent away stripped from family, friends and everything she has know into a world of the unknown, I felt the author had wrote this with great feeling and understanding of the time .
The second character is Margaret Beaufort is the strongest character by the age of thirteen and before her death is married one more time !!!!! Margaret's Beaufort is the mother of Herry VII.
Through out the book both women fight for position and they sons to become king if England.
I loved this book from start to finish and is another book that has open my eyes to a different gene.
