The Baby Diaries

Description

The hilarious and heart-warming second in the series from the author of THE WEDDING DIARIES. "I'd be sick right now, but I never like to reinforce a cliche." A few weeks after Kiki and Thom return from honeymoon, Kiki finds there's a noticeable absence. An extremely serious noticeable absence of something, it turns out, Kiki now realises she was pretty glad about. One pregnancy test later, Kiki's breaking the "good news" (Thom: Wow. We're so... Edwardian.) and rewriting all the plans she'd made before. With an ever-expanding waistline, her nightmare childhood "friend" Annie pregnant too, all the problem authors at Polka Dot Books she could (not) wish for and an army of NW London's Smug Mothers to deal with, these nine months might not be the nine months of blooming relaxation she'd been promised...

Sam Binnie was the 2005 winner of the Harper's/Orange Prize Short Story Competition, and lives in London with her husband and two children. She is still embarrassed that she forced people to camp at her wedding. The Wedding Diaries is her first book. She is currently writing The Baby Diaries, which will be published in March 2013, and suffering flashbacks to the horrors of antenatal classes.

'The bottom may have fallen out of the chick-lit market, but we still need the new - especially if they are this good... It's the start of a series written in diary form. Addictive, funny and charming' - The Bookseller's Ones to Watch Praise for The Wedding Diaries: 'Anyone who's ever planned their own wedding, been a bridesmaid or even been invited to a wedding at all will love this book!
