Summary
Heartwarming storytelling with strong themes of sisterhood from nation's favourite and former Bake Off winner Nadiya Hussain, this is Little Women meets Marian Keyes Walsh - a family series for a new generation of readers.
The four Amir Sisters - Fatima, Farah, Bubblee and Mae - are as close as sisters can be, but sometimes even those bonds can be pushed to their limits....
Becoming a mother has always been Farah's dream, so when older sister Fatima struggles with a tough pregnancy whilst Farah has trouble conceiving, she can't help but be jealous - until a plan to break a huge cultural taboo in her family and use a surrogate gives her renewed hope. But nothing is ever that easy in this warm, witty look at a modern British family.

Hooked on these girls!
I normally read autobiographies or factual books, I don’t normally enjoy fiction but I can’t stop listening to the story of this family.
2 down 1 to go!

Disappointing
I bought this because I loved the first book in the series. However, this book was exclusively about themes that do not interest me. To make matters worse, Farah is an unlikeable character. She is too selfish and, as another character put it, "cannot see past her ovaries". The whole book is too claustrophobic also
