#Review Today I am sharing my publication day review for Not Having It All by Jennie Ensor #HappyPublicationDay #NotHavingItAll @jennie_ensor

I love a nice light hearted easy read and this fit the bill perfectly. Kurt & Bea seem to have hit a sticky patch in their relationship and their antics throughout this story will make you chuckle.

A fab light hearted read that I found comical, full of the every day gripes of marriage and parenting. Kurt is full of anxieties and doubt in his marriage to Bea. Bea is fed up of trying to deal with Kurt’s anxieties, a demanding Fran with increasingly bad behaviour and juggling her much loved job.

Pick up this book and chuckle your way through as you get to know Kurt, Bea & Fran.

Book Blurb

Neuroscientist Bea Hudson fears she is a bad mother and that her career will be thwarted by family life. When her husband suspects Bea of having an affair with her best friend, a chain of events is triggered, leading to a crisis in Bea’s life.

Bea Hudson, a neuropsychologist living in Godalming, is struggling to cope with the challenging behaviour of her obsessive husband Kurt and their disruptive four-year-old daughter Fran. On top of this, her boss is pressuring her to get results from her research. Bea has her work cut out.

Things come to a head when Kurt goes away on an extended business assignment. While sacking staff and drinking heavily, Kurt’s insecurities run amok and he becomes convinced that Bea’s close friend Madeleine is seducing his wife and unduly influencing his daughter.

Meanwhile, childless artist Madeleine sees her friend torn between the demands of work and offers to help with Fran. But when she reveals a startling desire to her unsympathetic therapist Mr Rowley, he advises her to focus on the attention of Colin, a man she met in a lift.

Can Bea survive the demands of her career and the turmoil in her marriage without having a breakdown? Can Madeleine survive Kurt’s anger and find happiness with Colin? And can love survive marriage, middle-age, alcohol and ambition?

I am a total bookworm who loves nothing more than to lose herself in a book. My pile of books to read is teetering higher and higher as there are not enough hours in the day compared to how many old and new amazing books there are out there to read. I love to read in my spare time and books are a massive part of our household. I feel really lucky that Daisy also loves losing herself in the amazing worlds the authors are creating for us and neither of us ever go very far without having a book to hand as you never know when an opportunity to read may present itself.

  1. thanks Kel for this fabulous review! It wasn’t my idea to describe the book as a ‘laugh out loud’ comedy – as it is on the Amazon blurb – but it’s good to know that it prompted a few chuckles 🙂
