A great book for book lovers, and the ideas for a book club of your own are fantastic. I'm in a different stage of life to the mums here but still found so much love and warmth in the pages

An easy to read fun book. I am sure everyone will enjoy it as I have done. 5 stars.

Thanks to Netgalley and publisher for this e ARC

A single mum looking for love again... what could happen? Anything... everything! With the help of two new friends that form a book club more for venting and hosting than books, you'll find out. Hilarious!!!

An easy read, that had me laughing in places. Nice and light-hearted too.

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

My first book, that I have read by this author, absolutely brilliant! Highly recommended, and I will definitely read others written by this author!

This is a lovely lighthearted read , was fast paced and addictive reading, I read it quite quickly and i think if you have kids you should read this book. I don’t but I could still relate to all the characters, its about three single mums and the common bond they share of being lonely. The romance is sweet and realistic, I loved the fact they took it slow and showed how scary new love particularly if there are kids in the picture.

This was such a fun read! I love reading books like this sometimes to break up the more serious ones. Sometimes I yearn for an easy read that makes me chuckle and smile, and this did just that. The cover and title is all it took for me, I knew I had to read it. The sad part is that I read it in ONE DAY! I don’t think that is how it was supposed to happen, I wanted something to last me at a few days, but I can’t complain too much, right?

I had to laugh at the antics of the members of the book club, as well as the characters themselves and how they fit into the generalizations that are made about book clubs and those who attend them. I belong to two book clubs and neither are even close to this one, or what you hear people say about them, but friends of mine so belong to some that are like that. I’m happy with the ones I go to and am glad they are the way they are, but reading about the other kind is fun and delightful! I welcomed all of the book and movie references and took notes!

We read about relationships, love, divorce, parenting, and of course, friendships. There were so many relatable topics and though mostly humorous, there was also a more serious tender side as well.

I definitely recommend this one - fun, light, and engaging!

A book about three single mums who are all completely different, they’re all lonely people and form a book club. They then form bonds with each other and become best friends.

Not the best book, but definitely not the worst. Probably a good palate cleanser if you’re in between reads. There was nothing wrong with the book, it was just an ok, easy read.

This was a cute, easy read, but it didn't capture anything in me. It was a solid women's fiction, feel good novel.

I give this book 3.5 stars. I enjoyed reading this book, it was about a newly divorced mom with three young children trying to live life again as a single mom with the help of her new single mom friends.

Stephanie is a newly divorced single mom living with her three children. Her ex-husband, Mike, was a terrible husband. So now he sees the kids every weekend. What she never expected was to lose her friends when she needed them the most. When she runs into one of them at the grocery store, Stephanie gets the brush off. A few days later, she loses it in the middle of the store alone, and her neighbor, Janey, that she's seen in passing over the years saves the day.

Janey becomes her salvation, her confidant, and a close friend. They decide to form a book club to get together to discuss books and have a drink.

Steph is out one day with her youngest reading a book and a woman comes up to her asking about her book. They get into a conversation and Steph realizes that the woman is also her neighbor at the end of her street. She invites her to join their book club as well. The three women soon become great friends and more.

A cute read!

Brilliant easy read that kept me gripped from the moment I started the book.

What starts as an innocent run in with the neighbour to best friends and relationships blossoming. Such a great book.

Thank you to Netgalley, Victoria Cooke, and HQ Digital for an e-Arc of this book in exchange for an honest review. As a single mom, I loved this book. It was fun, funny, and heart warming as I followed along with all the characters. I love that the book club gave Stephanie almost a new look on life- it made me smile. I would definitely recommend this one to anyone who reads the synopsis and thinks that it would be up their alley.

This book was absolutely fantastic & a real breath of fresh air, it was exactly what I needed to get me out of my book funk

Superb characters & great storyline - wouldn't hesitate to recommend

I really enjoyed this book. It was light-hearted and fun to read! I love books about women friendships.

Three friends, three single mums, one quest to find love…

Steph is recently divorced. A mother of three young children, she is grappling to adapt to life as a single mother. She is struggling with the finances and finding her place in the world again while her ex-husband seems to be living life to the fullest. Abandoned by her so-called friends, she finds herself breaking down in the middle of a supermarket with her baby. In walks Janey, a mum who lives across the street and Steph soon comes to realise that she is not on her own.

The true meaning of friendship is explored by Cooke perfectly in this book. We all have friends that we drift away from as adults and the idea of trying to find someone to anchor ourselves to and who understands what we are going through is an issue everyone deals with when becoming a parent. Steph has experienced a great tragedy as a child and finds herself terrified of the dark. By setting up the book club, Steph, Janey and Amanda, the wealthy widow up the street, find a way of helping each other through difficult moments in their lives.

A story about friendship and love, The Single Mums' Book Club is the perfect comfort read. It is so relatable- anyone with crazy small children will completely have sympathy for Steph and her struggle to control them without it ending in a shouting match. The chaos of her home life is something that echoes in the houses of any parent whether single or married. I loved the humour sprinkled throughout the story- Steph finds herself in some equally hilarious and embarrassing situations which made me laugh out loud (my favourite is the library scene but I'm going to leave it for you to read! All I will say is that as a librarian, it does happen!)

Loved the slow-burning romance between Steph and her boss, the quirky vet Edward. There are times where I wanted to slap the two of them on their heads and say 'just get together why don't you?!!'. Cooke's treatment of a blended family and the issues that it brings was on point. Coming from a blended family, I think she really hit the nail on the head in terms of what can happen when parents have new relationships and how that shifts the dynamics in a family.

Part heart-warming/heart-breaking, cute, hilarious and seriously relatable, The Single Mums' Book Club is sure to be a hit. It will be released on the 30th of April 2022. If you liked Why Mammy Drinks, get a copy of Cooke's book! Thank you to NetGalley and HQ for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

A lighthearted easy read about a recently divorced woman called Steph. I like the themes of friendship here and some of the scenes are funny. It also felt like a realistic portrayal of the life of a mum. It did feel a little long in places and it was a predictable ending! I would have liked more references to books as well as this became very minor.

Review of The Single Mums’ Book Club by Victoria Cooke

I really enjoyed this book. It was a fun and entertaining read easy read, ticking all the boxes. About three single mums all at different stages of their lives, yet all share the common bond of being lonely. Hence how the book club is born. Recommended
