Representaion Supposing Books The Only Boy for Me

Single motherhood has never been so much fun.

Annie Baker's got it made-an idyllic life in the country, a part-time job in town as a freelance film producer, and a boy who's crazy about her. The only problem is, he's six years old. Featuring Annie as its frazzled but tireless heroine, Gil McNeil's endearing first novel turns chaos to poetry.

Annie doesn't remember what it feels like to be pulled in any less than seven directions at once, but that's the beauty of her life. It seems like everywhere she turns there's a crisis in the making and a man who needs fussing over--whether it's her son, Charlie, who will only eat sausages for breakfast; her high-maintenance director-boss Barney, who's constantly being attacked by his own espresso maker; the crew on her ad shoots, whose work ethics are controlled exclusively by their stomachs; or her work nemesis, Lawrence, who's simply out to get her fired. And then she meets Mack...

Funny, heartbreaking, truthful, and romantic, The Only Boy for Me is a stunning debut.

Assessment Of Books The Only Boy for Me

Instantly warmed to the little boy in this book, so well written he was tangible. Laughed out loud at the dialogue and cried at the heartbreak of being a parent.

This was a seriously quick, mindless, and slightly annoying, yet sometimes laugh-out-loud read. I can barely believe I even stuck out the whole thing. The book was basically the same as her Beachstreet Knitting ect. books: single mom with a wild child who has fabulously wealthy friends and of course finds a suitably wealthy and handsome man. BLECH. Except, thankfully, she doesn't go with said wealthy man and ends the story having a cuddle with her son. If you need something very vapid to bide

This is a funny, quite light hearted read, full of observations of life with children, although I have to say that I haven't had half the 'hilarious' conversations with any of my 4 children that Annie has with Charlie, but still, wittily done. A lot of things do ring true, mopping bathroom floors with towels after bathtime, been kicked in the stomach in the middle of the night by a wriggly child wrestling the duvet from you after they have crept into your bed, having an elbow in your eye....yes,

I have become a Gil McNeil fan since I read her series starting with "The Beach Street Knitting Society and Yarn Club". She has a fun way of describing incidents and makes me laugh out loud, especially when I can relate to the circumstances. I received "In The Wee Small Hours" for Christmas and since I like to read the books in order, I had to start with this one. I can relate to having an adventurous little boy, having a sick child and doing it by yourself. Fun book, especially when the little



I had enough of Charlie by the third chapter and he never got better.

The story of Annie Baker and her six year old son, Charlie, gives you a multitude of laughs. Anyone that has ever raised a rambunctious boy will really appreciate the things Annie goes through. I was laughing aloud almost constantly. There was one very poignant part in the book that brought tears, but many, many more laughs.Nice relaxing read.
