This is the first book I have read by Mink Elliott but this book does actually follow on from her previous book The P***ed off Parents Club, having not realised this when I first brought the book I was a little bit hesitant about reading it in case I felt like I didn't follow the flow of the book by not already being introduced to the characters but I didn't find this at all, there were a few mentions of The P***ed off Parents Club but I still found I was on track with the storyline.

I was lucky enough to win this paperback book from a giveaway run by @Btweenthesheets on Twitter.
I found out that this is a follow-up to the author’s first book The Pi**ed-Off Parents Club and I was a bit worried that I would struggle to keep up with it seeing as I hadn’t read the other book. It turned out that I worried for no reason because this worked well as a standalone book with a few references to what had happened before but nothing that didn’t make any sense.

An entertaining an untaxing read,grab your cappucino and relax..this is the story of a mum who has the brilliant idea to set up a cafe where mums and their children can go and be themselves, the sort of place we could all use once in a while,where you can find good company and good coffee while not worrying that the children are disturbing anyone. All while she is pregnant, in a foreign country, and renegotiating her relationship with her husband..
Having thoroughly enjoyed Elliots first book I was really looking forward to this one and loved it too! The setting in Sydney was something new and the book had some really funny moments. A nice positive pick me up that has me thinking of emigrating again!
This is the first book I have read by this author - so I did not realise that it carried on from her first book The P***ed Of Parents Club. It did not to much as I soon got the general idea of the main character Roxy and her family.
The book centres around Roxy who is a struggling mum of one to Joey and also wife to Jack. I do not have children but I could relate to Roxy and understand how hard it can be having children and also the character Roxy connects with you. Loved the way the book is set...more

I really enjoyed this book and even though I had not read her first book I did not feel like I needed to as the story in this book flowed really nicely and was a lovely read
I really enjoyed this book, I couldn't put it down, it was easy to read and funny, definetely recommend.
Easy to read even though I haven't read The P***ed off Parents Club.
easy reading
I liked this book but it annoyed me in places and sometimes found it boring in places.
Funny mummy book set in Bondi Beach - what's not to love?
Nice light-hearted sequel to "The Pissed Off Parents Club" but although it had some humourous moments i enjoyed reading I didn't relate to this as much as first book. Still good and a nice quick easy read for those that have read book 1 but preferred the first instalment more.
slightly less substantial but filled a gap as extremely busy at time of reading
Good chick-lit novel. However, the character was far too moany for my liking!
