There are errors that need to be addressed, spelling, spacing, etc.
I couldn't finish the book. I found it very repetitive. Each chapter seems to pick up in the middle of the previous chapter which makes the book not flow well.
I liked the plot and the characters but I just couldn't get into enough to finish because of the writing.

Sorry but this book wasn't for me. I'm sure it was just me and everyone else will love it though. But for personal reasons this book was just a little bit hard to read.

What a beautiful book.
Stella is the youngest of three women living together. Three women, all from one family, each a generation apart.
Stella's mother, Bonnie, and her grandmother, Florence, along with Stella, reside in the house that has been their home for decades. It's the only home Bonnie and Stella have ever really known and the start of a lifetime of secrets that Florence started through no fault of her own.
As Stella reaches a certain age, she chooses to use a sperm donor to give her the child she longs for. A lot of research goes into the final decision of the donor, but as the story unravels, it becomes obvious that what she thought would be the best choice and the reasons for thinking that may not always be the right one.
Nature vs nurture is a strong theme, as well as family relationships.
Florence is extremely strong and resilient, and her concern for the women in her family is palpable. We all need a gran like her! Really enjoyed this.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Hodder & Stoughton for an ARC.

You Get that from Me, sees a family of 3 women, single mothers. As the 3rd generation is ready to bring a baby into this world via a sperm donor, their struggles, hopes and frustrations unravel her and her mother's birth stories.


It is mostly how the lead struggles to get pregnant and her overwhelming desire to have a perfect for her baby. I struggled with the lead character given her crazy baby blues as opposed to her mother and grandmother who were the stable ones despite their pasts in the story.

The story had some good moments however on the whole - Not for me.

An utterly delightful family drama that will capture the hearts of even the toughest readers! Loved this wonderful story!

I really enjoy a quick and easy read and this is the perfect book! Was easy to get into and follow! Well written has some humour within too.

You get that from Charlotte Butterfield is an absorbing page-turning novel involving three female generations. and it moves seamlessly between the past and the present day.

It's a story about Stella who wants a baby but doesn't want the relationship that comes with it. Stella asks her mum (Bonnie) and grandmother (Florence) to write a journal for the baby and it's the stories that are contained in the pages that bring you to get that from me to life.

The story of each character unravels throughout the pages and ultimately the book is about motherhood, love and all that life throws at us.

A recommended read.

I really enjoyed this book. The characters are extremely likeable and relatable and I couldn't put it down. The story has humour throughout whilst covering real issues from the aspect of each character. Definitely recommend this book for sure.

A quick, easy and absolutely fantastic read that I couldnt put down and I have been thinking about since it finished. I really enjoyed it.

This was such a great read! Will be sharing more thoughts soon, but I loved the perspective of the three different women and sharing their advice ect. It goes to show there really is more under the surface than you initially think.

Stella thought she knew how her life would turn out. A stellar career, the perfect husband (not like her own good-for-nothing dad), two gorgeous children, a dog to take on muddy countryside walks. But here she is: forty, single, living with her mum and grandmother, and trying to choose the ideal sperm donor out of a catalogue.

Bonnie might be an expert in genetics, but she knows there are some things you shouldn't hand down to your children - like the secret of what really happened in her marriage forty years ago.

Florence has raised two generations of wonderful women in this house - but her life, and the story of her blissful marriage, are more complicated than she's ever admitted.

When all three women start writing down their stories for Stella's unborn child, the secrets and memories woven into the house begin to resurface. You can't choose your family - but maybe you can choose what you make of it...

This was a brilliant generational story about relationships and parenthood. Stella is forty and after her relationships have failed to go the distance she’s decided to undergo IVF using a sperm donor and has moved back in with her mum Bonnie and grandmother Florence to allow her to rent her own flat out to afford it. She gives both her mum and grandmother a notebook each to write down about their pasts so the baby can have a good understanding of the history of her side of the family at least. I loved Florence, she was such a lively and cheerful character but I especially loved her own story of parenthood even if it didn’t exactly align with her story in her notebook. Bonnie was quite a straight laced character so her own story of her relationship with Stella’s dad was unexpected but also quite sad in it’s way. I enjoyed the different descriptions of potential donors and must confess I’d have no clue where to start, the story did a great job of making you think about genetics and what actually makes you the person you are but in and entertaining and uplifting way. 9/10
