Funny little story centered around a girl, a love triangle, and a gay friend sidekick that gets dragged into knowing more about women's bodies than he ever intended.

This book is not explicit but it does acknowledge the fact that sex exists.

It was a nice lighthearted funny book. Not quite a traditional romantic lit which is good because they are not my favourite. A nice feel good book.

3.5 stars - short and sweet (and really cheap!)

It was a bit of a pantomime book - I was smiling and groaning and wincing along with the characters... :)

Not bad chick lit - a good aeroplane read.

Because Heather suggested I read it.

Funny in places but predictable ending with a subtle twist.

36 year old woman Kate has ‘accidentally’ ended up pregnant, has a one-night stand with an old flame whilst she is in a relationship with what appears to be a tosser at the start of the novel. How do you ‘accidentally’ not wear a thing called a condom if you are going to even cheat? This idiotic bitch got herself into this mess and complains about it and literally is the most unprepared person ever for the baby, even I was more prepared. But the fact she would even let it get this far when she clearly didn’t want it. If you don’t want the baby don’t have it and stop lying when you are both in antenatal classes with your one-night stand. Kate is a stupid bitch but Daniel (Gay best friend) was hilarious I swear he’s the reason this novel is getting a good rating. The way he handled his friend’s super long labour journey. Seriously don’t know how people would be able to push out a massive or normal sized baby never mind having a long labour of pain. In my opinion, no pain relief is the best. The rest makes you sick. Your body will know what to do but Kate clearly had a long labour. Pushing a baby out is not a pleasant experience for any bullshitting reading articles it is sore, especially the bigger the baby’s head.

Anyway, this novel was funny because of Daniel. Kate is stupid. The two guys she sleeps with, Ben the dopey boyfriend that’s a flake, he’s stupid as well being obsessed with games as a grown adult. If he’s a teacher why does he come across so idiotic? Matthew (ex) they refer to him as a stuck-up annoying person when in reality he’s a bit annoying yes, but he was trying to be practical about the situation.

Kate does not seem to comprehend the fact that the most DIFFICULT bit is the POST-NATAL. Being pregnant you’re just a big lump carrying a human so it feels shit for your body to be so fat. But the actual baby itself and the mental tolerance it brings to keep yourself in check is the most important part. If someone doesn’t even have the audacity to check in on you AT ALL that is just plain ignorant as that’s the most difficult challenge. Not the pregnant bit …

The audio recording I listened to should have been a younger voice, sounded like an old woman which is not very appropriate.

Book review on:
https://clife.blog/2022/04/19/book-review-no-one-ever-has-sex-on-a-tuesday/

This is the first book in this series. I read the third one first and think I liked it a bit better. These are cute, short novels that are good if you’re in the mood for reading but not thinking.

In this one, Katy is 37 years old and having a fun fling with a gym teacher eight years younger than her. She’s on the pill but guesses it was an illness or vomiting after drinking too much with clients that rendered the pill ineffective because she gets pregnant. She’s almost positive the baby is Ben’s, except she did have a one-night-stand with her old boyfriend after a high school reunion. Matthew’s wife is also pregnant—with twins. Matthew is much more mature and financially secure than Ben. What is a girl to do? For a novel to work, she obviously can’t tell the truth until she’s about to burst with a baby.

Another weakness I saw with this book is that I was not 100 percent convinced that Katy and Ben’s love was the kind that should lead to forever. I’ve always thought that getting married because birth control fails or you’re too stupid to use birth control is asinine. Yes, Katy missed him when they broke up, but you can miss someone you’re not deeply in love with. Persuade me that this is the guy for her—the only guy for her.

I was in the mood to read a light a funny novel and this promised to be a comedy romance. For me it was more moany than comedy. None of the characters were really likeable and I didn't really care who Katy ended up with. Don't feel like there was depth of feeling and the comedy elements just missed the make for me too.
