Nothing Like A Naughty Scene To Brighten Your Monday Morning.

I'm one of those people that begins a book and then puts it down only to rediscover it four weeks later, with a library fine. I don't believe in Kindles they make me sad. I like the smell of a good book especially an old one. I'm from the generation of the Harry Potter book smell, if you dont know it, go into Waterstones and just sniff one... I promise you wont get any strange looks.

So recently I rediscovered a book that I borrowed from the library 2 months ago. A little dusty I'll admit. But what a cracker it is! Just Like Proper Grown-Ups by Christina Hopkinson is one of those feel good books, even on a Monday morning when your eyes are aching from the need to go back to sleep it makes you realise that things could be a lot worse.

It's the tale of four people who become the godparents of their friends unexpected baby. But it's not all simple as it seems, with a few twists and turns I did get some odd looks on the tube for gasping a little too loudly. And you may find that you have to put the book up to cover your face as it blushes at some very naughty scenes! This is without laughing out loud and waking the sleeping man on the train up.

I am a little worried about what I'm going to do once I've finished the book because as usual I've allowed myself to get far too involved in the plot and mistake the characters as real people. We've got;

Owen: Every girls dream and a very big bed hopper. What's worse is he's been engaged 4 times or maybe he's had 5 even he doesn't know. But he's charming and got a few issues so women to fall at his feet including two of the main characters.
Tess: She's the posh one, her parents are loaded and she's pregnant by a donor even though she never wanted babies and was quite happy roaming wild and free, very suspicious. Her and Owen had a little thing way back when.
Michael: Tess's second cousin who is oddly very much in love with her it's almost cringe
-worthy. But sadly everyone thinks he's gay.
Sienna: My favourite, she's curvaceous and slightly crazy but she's also super amazing and ends up in bed with Owen after one too many.
Lucy: Tess's best friend mother of two and the partner of a very sexy younger man. She's obsessive about everything, about the fact she's 40 and her eggs are dying and she is ageing and the fact that everyone seems to be at it apart from her.

It is definitely a holiday pool side read and I would recommend it to everyone.
