Take Mum Out By Fiona Gibson

[amazon_link id=”1847563651″ target=”_blank” ][/amazon_link]Fiona Gibson is back with her latest book ‘Take Mum Out’.

‘You need to get back in the saddle…’ Alice despises that phrase. She’s fine being single – with two slothful teenage boys and a meringue business to run, she has enough on her plate without negotiating the troublesome world of modern dating.

However, Alice’s three best friends have other ideas. Each one will present her with an utterly delicious, eligible man – all Alice has to do is pick her favourite

Fans of Fiona Gibson will have become accustomed to the author’s laid-back and witty style of writing and with ‘Take Mum Out’, we expected another fun book and we certainly weren’t disappointed.

The story is seen through the perspective of single mum of two teenage boys Alice, who after years of having no relationships decides to dip her feet back into the dating scene, much to the delight of of her friends, who have long sought for Alice to find a partner and to the disgust of the sons, who are confused as to why she suddenly wants a boyfriend.

With much trepidation and excitement, Alice agrees to go on three dates organised by her three best friends and on these three dates, Alice discovers that the dating journey is not always a smooth path.

As Alice is set up with three unlikely candidates, this results in quite funny and entertaining dates that makes for warmhearted reading. From the romantic setting of a children’s pizza restaurant, a cougar loving toyboy to a whirlwind adventure to Paris (that I found to be the best of the three dates). As Alice goes on this date, the charming gentleman was quite an complex character who brought out a bold and rebellious side to Alice and this was wonderful to see, as she spent so much of her time stressed out about finance and her sons. This book probably has a date that everyone can relate to!

I particularly enjoyed Alice, as the protagonist of the story, I thought she was quite an inspirational woman, battling two jobs, two teenage sons and a never satisfied mother, she manages to look on the bright side of life and never letting the small things get her down.

I genuinely loved ‘Take Mum Out’. I thought it was a charming and upbeat story about how hard it is to find love later on life especially when people think that you are too old to be even looking and life is a bit chaotic. Filled with fun characters, unlikely suitors and plenty of meringues, ‘Take Mum Out’ is a guaranteed fun and frivolous story that is perfect to curl up with.
