Today I am happy to be featuring another in Susan Buchanan's series, Just One Day- Autumn. I also have a great giveaway for you to enter, with the chance to win a signed copy. Details are at the foot of this post.
Pregnant Louisa is just getting back on track when life
throws her another curveball. Now, it’s not a case of how she’ll get through
her to-do lists but how she’ll manage being a mum again.
No one seems to understand. How will she run her company, be
partner in a new venture, look after her three kids and handle a newborn? And
why does everyone think this will be easy? Except her.
All Louisa wants is to be a good mum, a good
wife and have a bit of time left for herself, but sometimes that’s too big an
ask. Can she find the support she needs, or will she forever be pulled in too
many directions, always at the mercy of her to-do lists.
My Thoughts
In this final instalment in Louisa's story, you follow her through the ups and downs of her pregnancy. Her to do lists get longer, but so do her moments of self-doubt as to how she will cope with twins. All the amusing bits of family life are portrayed and Louisa's attempts to juggle all the competing aspects of her life pushes her to the edge. What keeps her going is the love and help she gets from her family and friends. What you realise about Louisa is that she gives back to her friends and neighbours and does not hesitate to help out. She is such a warm and human character and seems so down to earth at times, despite the swanky hotels she gets to work in.
With a relatable central character, you find her story to be quite believable which adds to the enjoyment. There is humour too, especially from her offspring and the descriptions of the Christmas shows and festivities will make you smile. This is a fun, entertaining read and I was quite sad to leave the family at the end of the story.
In short: love, hunour and family life.
