I downloaded this short story for free via Amazon few months ago.Yesterday I was in the mood for something Christmas related so I decided this would be a perfect choice since I love Sophie Kinsella's work.Oh, how wrong was I!This short story had the most arrogant main character I have ever read about in my whole life!I hated Ginny from the very beginning.I have no idea what would make her think she is so much better then everyone around her.What kind of pregnant woman would tell everyone that the father of her unborn child is useless when he is obviously helping her as much as he can?And what kind of pregnant woman would be so unsupportive to another scared pregnant woman?Not to mention this story had nothing to do with Christmas except for the information that the due date is around Christmas day.If you ask me, it could be summer, it wouldn't make any difference.I understand the story is inspired with Christmas ghost of the future, but it is done so poorly I lost the words to describe how poorly it was.Who would I recommend this story to?To everyone who want to irreparable throw away 20 minutes of their life. This is a super quick free teaser from Sophie Kinsella. Like all of her work it's very simple to read and in easy to digest language. The story follow 6 women , all of whom are expecting their first babies in the weeks prior to Christmas and all of whom attend the same exclusive antenatal class with the notorious Petal. All the women have different expectations from their births and priorities afterwards. But at the last lesson, all are shown a glimpse into their futures and how the choices they make now will affect pan out with unexpected consequences.So this really is a short novel - it took about 5 minutes to read - but it still has typical Kinsella style and her mix of characters and plots. There isn't really much else to say as it is so short, apart from that fans of Kinsella will love this as will anyone else who wants a quick read.
Do You like book Six Geese A-Laying (2011)?
I'm sorry to say i think this is absolutely terrible. A nice quick read but not for me at all.
