Chick Lit Classics is a new feature on Chick Lit Reviews where we highlight the books we feel are classics of the chick lit genre. Feel free to discuss our choices in the comments section!
This week I’ve chosen Rowan Coleman’s book The Accidental Mother for Chick Lit Classic. I read it in 2008 and again in 2009 and I absolutely loved it. It was witty, it had fantastic characters and I loved the chemistry between Sophie and the girls. It was a hugely enjoyable book and I hugely recommend you pick it up. It’s sequel The Accidental Family is also good, but The Accidental Mother is tons better!
Sophie Mills has worked her Manolo Blahniks off to reach the near-top of her profession. And she’s very happy with her priorities in life - her job, her neurotic cat Artemis and her passion for shoes. After all, relationships only get in the way. And as for children - She hasn’t even begun to think about them yet. Until one day an unexpected visitor brings news of a strange inheritance and Sophie is suddenly, out of the blue, in sole charge of two children under the age of six. But motherhood can’t be all that hard, can it? Within twenty-four hours, her make-up smeared all over the bathroom, Artemis has taken up residence on top of her wardrobe, and Sophie is in despair. And all her unconventional mother can suggest is “Dr. Roberts’ Complete Dog Training and Care Manual”. Determined to rise to the challenge, Sophie soon realises that she’ll need more than a business plan to cope with all this …

I enjoyed this book, although I can’t rememeber reading this as it as been such a long time since I read it.
