Book Review of The Accidental Mother

The Accidental Mother
The Accidental Mother
Author: Rowan Coleman
Genre: Romance
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed Cute moments, but very "Baby Boom" on + 43 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 4


A career woman accidentally falls into motherhood when her childhood best friend dies in a car accident, leaving behind her 2 young daughters. Sound familiar? This is "Baby Boom" with Diane Keaton, only set in London with presumably a younger, prettier main character who plans parties for her "high powered" careeer.

It is really cute though, and, if you are a mother or an accidental mother, the parts with the daughters will alternately make you smile, cringe, thank God for carpet cleaner, and break your heart.
