This really was awful - and the random snippets from the website (tip for the day, joke of the day etc) were just bewilderingly wrong. Couldnt bring myself to care about a single character.

pretty awful really. I persevered in case it got any better, and I'm not a picky reader. This is a book about a group of people who all contribute to an online "mums" community. Of course, one way or another, these people are all destined to meet and share each others lives. I just found it completely implausible, and contrived and not at all a realistic assessment of what I have found social sites like this one to be about.
Were there a book that I would say "leave well alone" it would be this one. The author should certainly leave writing well alone!
