Book Review: Becoming Scarlett by Ciara Geraghty

Scarlett O'Hara is a wedding planner, and a pretty good one too. She's made her name with some pretty lavish bashes that she has thrown for her clients, but ironically she's not overly happy with her own love life. She's been in a relationship with John for years, but after feeling things have gotten stale, she is shocked when he walks out on her. She goes out and has a great time that night, but is shocked weeks later to find out she is expecting a baby, and now has no idea who the father is. Scarlett struggles to come to term with her shock pregnancy, and together with the help of her best friend Filly, her eccentric parents and the possible dads-to-be John and Red, she begins to get used to the idea of being a mother. Is Scarlett O'Hara about to throw caution to the wind and start a whole chapter in her life?

I read and loved Ciara Geraghty's debut novel Saving Grace, it was fresh, it was well written and it was incredibly enjoyable. We've had quite a wait for this book to be released, but after the success of her first book, I was convinced this was going to be worth the wait and eagerly sat down to read it when it came through my postbox. I quite like the new cover design, again, its very different from her debut novel but I love the cartoon style, although I think the amount of white isn't great and makes it look a tad blander than it could be. At around 400, its a fairly long novel, but I like that - its something to get stuck into, so I was hoping this would be a great book I wouldn't be able to put down.
