Summary

Falling in love can be pretty bloody inconvenient.

Let's inventory, shall we?

State of my professional life: Brilliant, if counted in terms of sales of eight Poppy Cantwell children's books starring my often-confused blue hippo, Hazel; the very substantial proceeds from selling my Kiwi Adventures New Zealand glamping business; and any number of glossy magazine articles about my charmed existence. Of course, I couldn't seem to write or draw anymore, but that would pass. Surely. 

State of my personal life: Murky. A mysterious siren I was not, in my nursing bra and only-kind-that-fits maternity panties. 

My three redheaded children? Good thing. Good, exhausting, frustrating, terrifying, wonderful thing. 

My marriage? Living with a failing marriage is like living with a toothache. It's not going to get any better, and eventually, it's going to get heaps worse, but who wants a root canal? 

Beginning to fall for the much-too-charming, not-quite-available, stone-cold-beautiful Dr. Matiu Te Mana, on the day he delivered the third of those children on the grass outside Otago General Hospital, a few short minutes before my marriage began its spectacular and very public final implosion? 

Possibly tricky.

Brilliant

The most unlikely couple, in the most unlikely circumstances, brought together in a relationship that is so completely believable. It took me months to finish this book, because I was enjoying it so much that I kept on putting off listening to it because I just did not want it to finish. This is a fabulous depiction of motherhood in all its inconvenient glory, and a romance that developed against all common sense and logic. Made me laugh, made me cry.

Great book

This is a story about modern and real world family issues. It has characters that are so in engaging you just don’t want to stop listening to hear what happens next.
What I really love about this book is that not only do you get invested in Poppy & Matiu story you really get invested in them as individuals.
This book is about marriage breakdowns, children and the surprise of potential new love at the most inconvenient time and circumstances.
This book deals with hope for the future while still dealing with family change.I found it a really engaging and listen, well worth a download.
