“They always say you should look at someone's friends before you marry them, that you can always tell a lot about a man by his mother...”

Babyville connects the story of three women so beautifully and effortlessly as they traverse the world of babies, love, pregnancy, career, motherhood and friendship. And in the end they found more than they bargained for. 

I love it when you go into a book expecting one thing then you encounter a fun, humorous, insightful and deep experience that you don't want to put the book down. Babyville did just this. The romance was an extra plus. 

I enjoyed how Green explored the challenges of getting pregnant, motherhood, postpartum depression and effects of adding a baby to a relationship in a delicate yet funny way. This part I didn't expect but was so welcome. 

Fans of Sophie Kinsella, Jenny Colgan might enjoy this one. 

I'd say why not read more from Jane Green. Everybody needs a bit of (literary) romance from time to time.
