Baby On Board

BabyThere's been a whole spate of books like Stephanie Zia's 'Baby on Board' recently. So many in fact that they're now crowned 'Mum-lit'. This novel covers the change in Molly's life from single girl about town (with requisite top job, ace friends and swanky London flat) to new mum....

When she gives birth to baby Daisy,  Molly is forced to relocate to the country (Kew apparently is 'the countryside') and a naff flat. Next thing you know she has a 'baby on board' sticker for her car and is pretty much abandoned by her friends.

The father of Molly's baby is wealthy correspondent Max, the man she has been having an affair with for the past six years (so no self respect then?) and now the reluctant, unreliable Dad. We are to imagine that they are deeply in love, but to be honest denial is more like it. Of course Molly, despite her baggy leggings and saggy boobs, seems to have no trouble having flings with bisexual, pompous Christophe or nice, safe Dan until she decides what she really wants in her new life.

Is it just me or are their far too many swanky-single-mum-changes-to-naff-life-with-baby books around? Unfortunately for Zia, most of them are more interesting and better than hers. It doesn't help that the characters are thoroughly unlikeable and for a book that is supposed to be realistic, the situations are frankly not. It's like a city dwellers view of 'madcap country people' and is - to be quite honest - utter trash. Give it a miss unless you really love reading about babies. [Camilla Chafer]
