Hands down, the worst Carmen Reid book I've read so far. Enough to possibly turn me off her work for good. This time, the protagonist, Bella is a career woman who is desperate for a baby. She secretly gets pregnant, drinks and smokes throughout the entire term, and of course, has a baby with no problems. She herself isn't able to adjust as perfectly to motherhood, and then there's a little infidelity thrown in for good measure. Needless to say, I didn't like the plot and the whole book felt comp

Wonderful.
Perfect chick lit.
Perfect chick lit.
Easy read, but wouldn’t advise anyone to read it if they want to have children, would put them off for life!
I loved this book! If you're a pregnant career woman, I recommend you read it immediately. Three in a Bed is funny and entertaining while being very honest and real. I am now a Carmen Reid fan.

I can't think of anyone who would enjoy reading this book. It is so unrealistic and incorrect, it seems it was written to make everyone feel badly about their life and to make them think it is acceptable to behave immorally or against their values. Also, the style of writing is very poor which I found surprising as this is the second book that I have read by this writer and I enjoyed the first. I do not recommend this and would not have finished it myself (I stopped about half way through as it

Uma cama para quantos a protagonista encontrar
Eu gosto do estilo de escrita da Carmen Reid. Ela é espirituosa e tenta não falar sempre sobre o mesmo tipo de personagem, vender sempre a mesma história.
Pouco me importa que Bella tenha um apetite sexual voraz e que não tenha diminuído nem depois de casada, mas me incomoda o assunto traição. E parece que para Carmen Reid ou Bella isso é fichinha em um casamento.
Desisti logo no começo, mas folheei as páginas para saber se valeria a pena insisti ...more

I started out liking this book then I got pissed off with the author and her lack of knowledge of alcohol and pregnancy. It seemed every time that there was any kind of stress during the character's pregnancy during the first 6 months or so she would down a bunch of wine. Given the awareness of the detriments of alcohol during pregnancy it really turned me off. I get that this was written in earlier years but really!!???

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS BOOK. The concept of morals seems to have completely evaded the female character and the story let’s her off the hook for how horribly she behaves to her husband and those around her. This book had me ripping the hair off my scalp - and not in a good way either. It’s a horrible book that I wish I hadn’t wasted my time with.

Bit boring, bit too dramatic for nothing.

I like it... a book which show you pregnancy, child birth and motherhood exactly like it is , with all good and not soo good things which came with it
I hated main character but it was too realistic.
Harikaydı. Beklediğimden çok iyiydi. Okurken film izliyor gibiydim çünkü belki benim hayal gücümdendir bilemiyorum ama olaylar aklınızda çok iyi canlanıyor.
Agree with Foxred5 review!! but more than anything i got really annoyed with how someone could say they wanted a baby and family then act so badly towards her unborn child and husband I just hope this was not based on a really person because her actions though out her pregnancy where disgusting.
I actually found out that I am pregnant just after finishing this book and I will not be doing anything like she did I want I will give my unborn child the best possible start in life I can. I used to be ...more

This book made me a bit emotional. It made me laugh, cry and very angry. Bella, is the kind of woman you love to hate. And sometimes like but mostly dislike. She tricks her husband into getting her pregnant for starters. Then spends most of the book moaning about being pregnant whist getting drunk and smoking, not really giving a shit about her unborn child. Oh and cock-teaseing her boss when the mood takes her. She is forgiven by he husband for lying and almost having sex with boss mentioned a

I recommend this book to all pregnant women cause I think that this is one of the rare books that are actually saying the truth about the negative aspects of being pregnant.
I must admit that the character is not one of my favorites but I won't talk about her cause this was not typical romance story for me and I think that that's not the most important element from the book.
Any way, this was my first book from the author and I would like to read something else from her even though I'm not fascin ...more

It's hard to enjoy a book when you don't like the main character...and oddly enough, I only liked this one when she was at the end of her tether. I probably won't rush to read it again, but for £1 it was a bargain read!

Hands down one of the funniest books that I have ever read :)
It really takes on a funny and very brave view on all the struggles of relationships, temptation, married life and babies. I love the character Bella and this contemporary is just so lovely and fun to read. I highly recommend it!

it was amazing
Recommends it for:
anyone who wants to have an insight into pregancy birth and working mums
This book was fab, it was funny but also really portrayed Bella brilliantly the struggle she had with pregnancy after wee man was born and her relationship, it was well written and a joy to read
Although Bella was a hard character to like at first, I really empathised with her, and the book was very well written and realistic, and reached out to me as I have a new baby myself.
woman.. can it ever be balance between good career and good motherhood??..
One of my favorites, great writing, hilarious and very down to earth, I very much enjoyed it.
Great story that I could really relate to - how do you manage the home/work balance??

Carmen was born and brought up in a chilly and windy corner of Scotland in the depths of the countryside.
This may explain her lifelong phobia of cows and abiding interest in cities, department stores, books, the cinema and newspapers.
She is currently working on her eigth novel for grown-ups and her third novel for teenagers. Well, she likes to keep busy.
