|comment= I think Magda's review hits the nail on the head. I too found the author's style rather annoying - the over-use of the exclamation mark is exhausting but also the incredible amount of waffle ... You can read for pages before getting to the actual point. Initially I thought the summary sections at the end of each chapter were just a good idea but after reading a few more chapters realised that they were actually essential if you were to have any hope in taking anything away from reading it. I also sometimes queried the author's sincerity/credibility (hard to believe there are many new mum's agonising over fashion in quite the same way) but suspect that she is indeed very sincere and that I am just on Magda's planet rather than the author's. Halfway through the book I decided I would be donating it to a charity shop (damning from me indeed as I am a notorious book hoarder) but - annoyingly - there is just enough useful information in there to earn it a place on my bookshelf.
