Summary

Poppy and Jazz’s lives sound perfect on paper. Jazz has a new baby and Poppy’s getting married. But their realities are very different.

Poppy must strive to keep her cool new job with crazy hours, while trying to keep Ryan happy. Before she knows it her wedding has got out of control, thanks to her mother, the runners at work are bullying her, her parents are in financial difficulty, and she’s doubting everything and everyone she ever knew.

Meanwhile Jazz is struggling with motherhood, something a credit card won’t fix. Why won’t this baby give her a break? Will Jazz be able to cope before she loses it?

And will Poppy make it down the aisle? Will Ryan even be waiting?

Please Note although this is part of a series each book can be listened to as a standalone.

More of Poppy and Jazz

It was great to hear more of the adventures of Poppy and Jazz. At times it seemed like several of the characters weren't learning from their mistakes, but it does have a happy ending, and the third book in the series is even better.

Rachael Whitby did well with the narration.

Absolutely love

Love all Laura’s books. I have read and re-read several times but now with a little one I can’t read that often so I downloaded audible to listen to them.

The books are just as fantastic but the narrater’s male character voices are either dull or just plain shocking. Thank the lord I won’t have to hear her do the vicar’s voice again. I cringed openly at every attempt of an Irish voice and honestly if my Irish roots were any deeper I would be quite offended that that is what she thinks we sounded like. I can’t even place it , maybe Indian ? Whatever, it’s really really bad. But if you can get over that bit the rest is brilliant as always.
Now onto the next one!

These get better and better

This book is a mix between Bridget Jones‘s diary and Love actually. The humour written into it is outstanding. I can safely say I have never laughed so much either reading or listening to a book before in my life. Rachel gives a great performance, she has totally captured the personalities of the characters. Highly recommend.

I love this

I love everything about this story, characters and of course the narrator was amazing, very easy to listen to, which made this even more enjoyable. I just never wanted it to end! I can't wait for Laura's next book to come out on Audio.

Wedding and the love.

In my typical style I’ve read these out of order. Each story can be read as a standalone but it’s centred around two girls Jazz and Poppy. I would recommend you read these in order as this is a series is great. (My order was 3, 1, 2).

After book one Poppy has a new boyfriend Ryan. He’s perfect for her but is she perfect for him? It’s time to put the crazy antics to bed and grow-up. JOKE! Poppy is still a Bridget and things are going to spiral.

Jazz has a baby, now it’s time to find her dream man. Being a mum is hard work but that doesn’t mean your life’s over.

Book two is scandalous, funny and lovable. This is a fun audiobook which is about juggling life. Poppy and Jazz aren’t perfect. That’s what makes this series so great.

*I received an ARC as part of the blog tour. My opinion is my own and my review is fair.
