If you’re lucky enough to be one of the first 10,000 people to request it, you may be able to grab yourself a copy of this book HERE. If not, well here’s a review and, if you still want a copy, I have a copy here for one of you lucky people to win.
So the idea behind this book is for all us mums to take some time to ourselves, lock the bathroom door, run a radox bubble bath then sink into said bubbles with this book (which has been published using waterproof pages – which is pretty cool – in case we’re silly enough to drop it) and chill out.
Sounds like a plan to me… and that’s what I did when the book dropped through my door today. At 12.30pm (in the afternoon for those of you trying to figure out times!) I told my other half I was having a bath and he was on child control (like pest control only less swatting) and off I went with book in one hand and radox in the other. I was expecting a real feel-good story, so imagine my surprise when I read 38 pages (the length of the book) of unremitting misery. The story is about a woman who’s husband plays tonsil hockey with her stepsister on her wedding day and it goes rapidly downhill from there.
I won’t spoil the ending for you but suffice to say it did not make me relax and enjoy my bath or even exit the bathroom with a new inclination to breeze through the day after having some well deserved me-time. No, I left the bathroom wondering if the point of the book was to make me look at my life and think “well, it doesn’t suck quite as much as I thought it did!”
So now to the competition – if I haven’t put you off this book for life! (It isn’t badly written, it’s just not a feel-good bathtime read).
I have ONE.. yes ONE copy of All Steamed Up to give away and all you have to do is the following:-
1. Read my Competition/Giveaway rules and follow them
Yup, that’s it!
Oh and incidently, always wishing to end on a high note… the bath was lovely!
