The Blurb :

Sophie Mills has worked her Manolo Blahniks off to reach the near-top of her profession. And she’s very happy with her priorities in life – her job, her neurotic cat Artemis and her passion for shoes. After all, relationships only get in the way. And as for children? She hasn’t even begun to think about them yet.Until one day an unexpected visitor brings news of a strange inheritance and Sophie is suddenly, out of the blue, in sole charge of two children under the age of six. But motherhood can’t be all that hard, can it? Within twenty-four hours, her make-up is smeared all over the bathroom, Artemis has taken up residence on top of her wardrobe, and Sophie is in despair. And all her unconventional mother can suggest is Dr Roberts’ Complete Dog Training and Care Manual. Determined to rise to the challenge, Sophie soon realises that she’ll need more than a business plan to cope with all this …

My Review :

Sophie is a workaholic who's closest friend is her personal assistant, Cal. Sophie struggles to put trust in a relationship with a male and judge whether they like her so instead focuses her whole life on her job and contemplating the possibility of a guy liking her.This book follows Sophie as she is forced to take care of her two godchildren and realises for the first time how she really feels about a guy, will she spend too long contemplating whether he likes her back or will she take her first risk in life?.
This book put together many different emotions - A heart warming book which l found myself laughing out loud at some points (which l haven't done for ages at a book)
