What they say:
After a whirlwind courtship, Brittany Beresford married her Prince Charming and looked forward to living happily ever after. Five years later, she’s been reduced to a not-quite-desperate housewife, with a husband who spends more time flossing his teeth than holding meaningful conversations with her. She braves his disapproval and turns working mother and, other than feeling far more drawn to a handsome baker she works with than him, things seem to be looking up. But then she discovers that his “hobbies” include something even worse than golf – and he expects her to put up and shut up. Fairy tale illusions shattered, but still believing marriage is for life and wanting the best for her son, Brittany has a choice to make: should she follow her heart, or her conscience? ~~~~ But I Said Forever is the second book in the Parker Sisters series (first book The Dr Pepper Prophecies), but can be read as a standalone.
Review
Early last year, I read ‘The Dr Pepper Chronicles’, which is the the first in the series, however this book follows a different Parker sister (DPC you read about Mel and this book follows Brittany), so you don’t need to have read this book before you read this one, however I thoroughly recommend you do as I really enjoyed it :)
I absolutely adored Brittany. She had a big heart and you can see she adores James, and puts all her effort into making her marriage with Philip work, despite his distant persona. She is such a strong woman, never giving up and made some tough decisions throughout the book, which is very admirable.
This book is funny and heart felt, with a positive message through running through the whole book. I really felt for Brittany and the dilemma she goes through. A page on however and you are laughing, especially when she is talking with her colleague Abby, who is really ditzy, but all the more loveable for it.
I also really liked Carly, not your typical nanny. I loved reading scenes between her and Brittany, seeing their friendship grow. Lauren, the other nanny in contrast seems a right terror. She is incredibly forthright which often comes across as rude, however, underneath it she seemed to have a heart of gold, and her clashes with Brittany were amusing to read at times.
Overall this book was a really good read. The food in the café sounded delicious and as delightful as all the characters working there. Easy to read in one afternoon, preferably with a cake of your own.
