What Happens Now?

By: Sophia Money-Coutts

One first date. One not-so-little mistake. What happens now?

'Completely hilarious' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Hugely funny, refreshingly honest, a total joy!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'You'll cry with laughter, but real tears too' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

‘No question about it, there are two little purple lines. I’m pregnant.’

After eight years together, Lil Bailey thought she’d already found ‘the one’ – that is, until he dumped her for a blonde twenty-something colleague. So she does what any self-respecting singleton would do: swipes right, puts on her best bra and finds herself on a first date with a handsome mountaineer called Max. What’s the worst that can happen?

Well it’s pretty bad actually. First Max ghosts her and then, after weeing on a stick (but mostly her hands), a few weeks later Lil discovers she’s pregnant. She’s single, thirty-one and living in a thimble-sized flat in London, it’s hardly the happily-ever-after she was looking for.

Lil’s ready to do the baby-thing on her own – it can’t be that hard, right? But she should probably tell Max, if she can track him down. Surely he’s not that Max, the highly eligible, headline-grabbing son of Lord and Lady Rushbrooke, currently trekking up a mountain in South Asia? Oh, maybe he wasn’t ignoring Lil after all…

Cute and Fun!

I really enjoyed the story. I’m on the road a lot and I found myself excited to have to drive my car so that I can continue listening to the story. I was also sad when the story came to an end. Not because the author didn’t do a good job with the ending but the very fact that I wouldn’t be able to continue to experience the main character’s life.

Also, I really enjoyed the way that the author narrated the story!

ho hum

not a romance. this was a drama about a pregnant woman. I did not understand the dynamics between Lil and Max at all. i finished it, but it was a pretty abrupt end.

A solid 4 star story

Really enjoyed listening to this story in the car - different from a classic rom com, included more storyline with the best friend rather than the love interest. The ending was abrupt and would love a sequel! Really like this author and hope to see more from her!

A good beach read

I enjoyed this book but I listened at a slower speed as the author was reading too fast for a languid listen.

Great read even for a non Brit

I really enjoyed the story and the characters. I loved Lil and her friends. I also like the narration by the author. Seemed real world. Already looking for another book by this author.

I do wish there was an epilogue. I love when you get a glimpse of how things turn out later.
